Can I transfers my iPhone 4 info to a new iPhone if I don’t know my password for my Apple ID, ?

What if I have an old iPhone 4 or 5 and want to transfer to a new phone but don’t know my password? Can I use my old I’d and request a new password or should I just make a new Apple ID?

Photos can be stored locally on a device, or can be configured and stored in iCloud.

How that’s set up on your old iPhone, nobody here knows.

Your photos (if stored on iCloud), app and media purchases, subscriptions, everything, are associated with your Apple ID.
