I was going to sell my iPhone tomorrow, and I thought I'd reset it so that none of my things were on there. I had already made an iTunes and AppleID for the buyer and was going to set up the phone for them.
When one resets a phone it asks for the AppleID password. I entered that and then the iPhone was reset.
When it came to activating the phone again, it is asking for an iCloud account email and password which I can't remember. I know the password its just the email, so I went to reset my iCloud email and it won't let me – only my AppleID which isn't the same.
Can anyone suggest how I can activate the iPhone?

Don't set it up for the next owner, let them do it themselves. Otherwise the account is yours, not theirs.
