You need to log out of the old ID before you can sign in with the new ID. If you reset the phone, you will probably get an Activation Lock.


See if you can recover the ID/password. Use every email address you can think of.

For the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password. See if you can get an email option if necessary.


Apple ID - Manage            


Apple ID – Forgot Password            


If necessary, if you are the original owner, contact Apple. Apple can remove the Activation Lock if provided the required paperwork. Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)
