Hi!
I have a bizarre situation. My sister was setting up her iOS 5 and when prompted for her ID for iCloud, she entered her own account data. However, once it was all set, her iCloud settings list MY ID as her primary iCloud account!!

I figure she must have logged in my account at the store at some point on her phone, but still, she chose her account as her primary iCloud account, not mine! Anyway, the problem is, if she performs any backup on iCloud it will mess up my backup, won't it? Both our phones list the very same ID as the account for iCloud backup. What can we do?

I can't seem to find any way to change that account on either phone. I understand one can use different accounts for iCloud, iMessage and even the store, but I couldn't find any way to just change the ID associated with iCloud backup so that we don't end up backing up under the same account by mistake...

Maybe reinstalling the system on one of the phones will allow us to try and choose a different ID?

Thank you!
