I'm assuming you have already used iForgot etc to reset your password first or that you no longer have that email..
Go to settings, scroll down to itunes /App store.
Click on your apple ID. and you will get some options such as IForgot to send a new password etc. If you truly cannot get your password, then click Signout. Then you will be able to create a new one when you try to register, you may need to create a new email account if your apple id was linked to your old one. Your old apps that will not update, you can delete them by holding your finger on them till they wiggle and click the X. then redownload with your new ID. Hope this helps.

How can I reset password for my Apple ID to get into ITunes?

Recover or Reset Forgotten Apple ID or Password on iPhone & iPad

This is all done on an iOS device and is often the simplest way to log back into an Apple account:
  1. Open the Settings app and scroll down and tap on "iCloud"
  2. Tap on the email address at the very top of the iCloud settings screen
  3. Tap on the blue text underneath the password entry that says "Forgot Apple ID or Password?" where you'll have two choices:
    • If you know your Apple ID and don't remember the password, type in your email address and click "Next" to start the reset process
    • If you don't know your Apple ID, tap on "Forgot your Apple ID?" and fill out your full name and email address to recover the Apple ID login (yes, you can then do the password reset after you have the Apple ID)
  4. Answer the security questions pertaining to that Apple ID, and follow the onscreen directions to complete the process
At this point you should be good to go, you can reset the password for the account and then login as usual.

Why need passcode for software update ipad2?and how can we fix it?

If its asking for an apple ID or iTunes account password then you need to sign in with that. If you forgot it you can recover it using the email account you signed up with. If you have a lock code on the tabket then it may be that one. You can sometimes sign out of itunes and sign in with a new one as well. This is a security feature to prevent apps from auto updating and wiping out settings or other people screw with it.

I WANT TO RESERT MY PASSWORD

For all accounts it is the same. You only can reset the old password, after you gave in the old one. If it was easy, just to do a reset, to enter any amount, the password would be worthless. most Android tablets, you can reset complete and start all over again, but you will lose all data and all apps. The Apple devices on iOS7 or iOS8, can't be resettled, without entering the Apple ID password.
Most online accounts, have a service for resetting the password, but only if you did setup a recovery possibility, with secret questions or a mailers, where they can send a reset code to, or when using 2 way verification, you also need a device to receive an SMS.

How do I change my email & password

You have to manage your iTunes account in iTunes. Follow these instructions to change account information.

You can change your Apple ID name, password, or billing information at any time.

  1. Choose Store > View My Apple ID, and sign in.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. Make your changes, and click Done.

Your changes take effect immediately.

If you also use your Apple ID in other apps, you don't need to update your information in those apps. The changes you make in iTunes apply to all apps in which you use your Apple ID.

If you have an AOL account, changes you make in iTunes don't affect your AOL account on the AOL service. For example, if you change your password in iTunes, the password you use to log in to the AOL service doesn't change.
