iCloud preferences want to make changes to your...

After I have keyed in my user ID and password in iCloud Preference Pane, another message screen popped up as shown. I have no clue what password it was asking for as I have tried the same iCloud password or other passwords I know of but they all failed.

Any advice on how to resolve the above issue?

Try your Mac user account.

The problem I faced was the Username field was greyed out to even allow me to key in my mac user account ID. Nonetheless, I have tried my Mac user account password and it did not work either

You are right ckuan.  I have tried the mac user password again and it finally worked.  Thanks.

You're welcome.

what is the mac user password?? I have tried all passwords I've ever used in my history of computing and it always responded with 'Incorrect Password'.

Your user password is the password you use to sign into your computer.

Doesn't work.

Is it possible that you have recently set up yourself as a new user? If you set up as a new user and you did not check "Allow user to administer this computer" then this may be your issue. I did this once. If so, you will only do it once.

This can be changed in System Prefs > Users & Groups

I know this is an old thread, but I had this problem when I replaced my Mac hard drive and reinstalled Yosemite.  I finally found a solution that worked for me.  If after following the suggestions by others in this thread you are still having this problem, do the following.

1. Click "cancel" on the "enter password" message and let iCloud remove finish removing your account.
2. Go to Keychain Access (Spotlight search is the quickest way to find it)
3. Right-click on the "login" keychain, and delete the keychain.
4. Log out of your computer, then log back in.
5. Set up your iCloud account again.  For me, it worked this time and I did not receive a message to type my password at all.

Apple removed my last post.  I am including three documents - make your own conclusion.  Apple is censoring my conclusion.

I created a fake Apple ID in an effort to log into my mail and contacts WITHOUT logging into other accounts.

This is my keychain before:

This is my keychain after I logged into my NEW email and contacts for the first time ever.

My opinion was censored - hopefully yours will not be. 

Before following the steps make sure you have four digit I cloud verification code  , all web mail , I cloud id , Apple ID &  their password respectively and wireless network password in your records .

Click on go to go folder & type ~/Library go to folder keychains & select ( can use command + A )  alfa numeric folder , loginkeychain -db , meta data .keychain -db & delete ( command + delete ) to the trash . Restart & empty the trash .

A pop - up appears on the desktop this Mac can’t connect to I cloud because of a problem with ……web mail is written open I cloud preferences to fix this problem

( a ) later  ( b ) I cloud preferences , so click on I cloud preferences .

Go to system preferences click on google mail , contacts & 3 more it prompts to enter web mail password , click on next .

Then click on I cloud , I cloud drive & 8 more on the right side check the box of key chain , an pop -up appears enter your Apple ID password & set up I cloud keychain .

Password ….required enter the password in the empty field ( a ) cancel ( b ) ok , click on ok

An pop up appears to set up I cloud keychain on this Mac request approval from one of your other devices using I cloud keychain .if no other devices are available , use I cloud security code ( a ) use code ( b ) cancel ( c ) request approval  so , click on use code .

Enter your four digit  I cloud security code & click on next enter the verification code ( 6 numbered )  sent to the mobile .

Open airport utility via spotlight & click on base station & enter the wireless network password

( a ) remember this password in my keychain (  cancel , ok) so  click on ok .

Open safari & set the home page once again .

Note : We have emptied all contents of keychain into the trash , as keychain was corrupted  restarted the system  & emptied the trash , & various pop - up appears and even after entering the passwords , the pop - up never goes away .So follow the above steps and the pop will vanish , but in the method I CLOUD FOUR DIGIT VERIFICATION CODE HAS A MAJOR ROLE .
