Remove iCloud Account without Password iOS 12/11/10/9/8/7 by Jailbreaking
You can just jailbreak your iPhone, then you can remove the iCloud account without a password. Here is an overview of how to use this method:
Step 1: Jailbreak your phone using Yalu jailbreak.
Step 2: Go to Cydia’s site and download iFile, iFirewall, and iCleaner. These are tools that will help clear the passwords on your device.
Step 3: Use iFile to get rid of the passwords. In var/Keychains/, delete keychain-2.db. Then, the iCloud account will be removed from your iPhone/iPad without password.
Step 4: Restart your iPhone/iPad.
Step 5: Use iFireWall to deny all connections and block “com.apple.com” to avoid any interference from the network while you work. You can find this option in Settings.
Step 6: Use iCleaner to get rid of the iCloud Deamon in the first page of iCleaner.
Step 7: Restart your iPhone/iPad again.
Step 8: Go to the Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone on your device once it is awake again. You should notice that “Find My iPhone” is now turned off, which enables you to delete iCloud account from iPhone without password.
Step 9: Then, use iCleaner to reactivate iCloud Deamon and use Cydia to delete iFirewall. Reboot your device again.
Step 10: Go to Settings > iCloud and sign it with new iCloud ID and password. As the previous accounts are removed with unofficial tactics, an error message "Server can’t establish connection" may pop up. If so, try it again until it works.
Step 11: Turn on Find My iPhone for this new account.
Step 12: Go to iCloud.com on PC or iPhone. Choose your device and tap Play Sound to make sure a new connection was created.
