Here is a quick way to solve this problem and this does work. In order to get started you need to first Signout of your iTunes Account and then on the right side of your iTunes you would find a section called &#8216;Quick Links&#8217; under which there is a link called as &#8216;Redeem&#8217;. Click on this &#8211; Next Enter the 12 Characters AlphaNumeric Code in the Box and click on Redeem. After this the iTunes would ask you to Login or Register for a New Account.
