Can you update iOS without iCloud?
iCloud has nothing to do with upgrading your device. You need to be signed into the iTunes & App Store, but you do not need to be signed into iCloud. You also need Wifi if you are going to upgrade OTA. Otherwise, you can hook your device up to a computer that is running iTunes, and update it from there.
Do I need iCloud password to update iOS?
Yes, the iCloud password is required after an upgrade to enable iCloud on the device.
