Old appleID password problem

I have an old appleID that I don't know the password for anymore.  When I try to change the old password using the phone number associated, it changes my current appleID password as the phone number is the same as my new appleID....  Please help    


I have an old iPhone that is associated with my old appleID that I cannot reset without knowing my old applied password, or at least being able to reset it.
