Two ways to interpret your question:


Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac --> https://support.apple.com/HT208242


If another Apple ID is signed in you may need to enter the password for that ID to sign out of that ID first.

Two possibilities I can think of:


Contact Apple and see if they can sort out the ID email issue:


Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - https://support.apple.com/HT204169 "This article provides country-specific Apple Support contact information for customers seeking help with their Apple ID password or other security-related issues."


OR


Apple can completely reset a device if a person can provide sufficient evidence of valid ownership. Do this online at: Activation Lock support request - https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support Apple says, "Proof of ownership documentation is required," but does not state what currently constitutes proof. Prior to this new online service Apple typically required the original receipt issued by Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller and documented provenance (so typically it would be the original owner who does this, or a descendant with legal proof of ownership).

It will not let me sign out of icloud unless i have the password for the current apple ID which is my mis-typed email address. Someone put it in wrong and I cannot change it. I can't recover the password because the email address doesn't exist to reset the password, i would need it forwarded to my actual apple id (my real email address).
