Old Apple ID Account

I have an existing apple ID that I forgo the password for. How do I get access and merge the accounts?

Apple will not merge Apple IDs, nor transfer content from one Apple ID to another.

See If you forgot your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487

 

You also can use Having trouble signing in/iForgot https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid 

 

And you will need to see If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485

 

Before trying to answer your security questions is very important that you think about your questions, including your birth date, and their answers carefully and try to recall all details you can. If you don't answer them correctly enough, then you easily can lose control of your account.
