Ok, here's the thing. I recently had trouble with my Samsung, the stupid thing has a tiny hole in the lower right in the back. I was told it could pose some risk so I bit the bullet and bought an Iphone 12 pro max. What the hell was I thinking!!! I've set up Icloud on my Windows PC but like the fool I am I forgot the password I chose. I got my phone on the 5th and got it activated so that's a plus I suppose. Then on the 10th I accessed Icloud from my PC and registered. And now for the life of me I can't remember the password. The instructions to change my password said to do that from my phone but my phone won't show me the change password button so now I iz stuck, can anyone out there help me fix this mess I'm in? Thank you in advance.

Surely there is a support phone number or a way to chat at the Windows site. Sorry but I don't have Windows.

Yikes! I wish I could help, but have no idea. Talk to DE, Scott, or JJ. They are extremely helpful.

Yeah and with 35mm film ASA 100 no less I was very impressed with that kid on the skateboard and also with his 'victims' who let him jump over them. He should have been in the olympics but skateboarding wasn't on that list in 1996.

You are going to have to find a support number to help you.

I've begun writing down passwords in a book otherwise I'm in the same boat as you. I've never had any apple products but I do have an I cloud account that I no longer y use maybe for that reason.

The way I understand it is that Icloud stores pictures and apps from an Apple device and that you should be able to view all that on any device. I found a website you might try contacting:
iCloud - Official Apple Support
support.apple.com
Learn how to set up and use iCloud. Find all the topics, resources, and contact options you need for iCloud.

I got a lot of help from one rep over at Apple and as it turns out I did have to have an Apple id and password before I could access icloud ..... that got done and now I can access my photos on my Windows PC

@rebelann they also store pics from other than apple devices as I did that years ago. I think I needed an account years ago when using Adobe pdf readers. Now that's all free with no account needed
