If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID. 


Create a new ID (if necessary)on another Apple device/computer and sign into iCloud using the same Apple ID on another Apple device/computer. You should then be able to sign in.

Thanks I already created a new Apple ID the problem now is the update apple id setting appear in my iPhone 5s because I changed my password and I can't re-enter it to my previous iPhone 6 that have been sell to other and I have no contact at all to the new owner


So at the core of this question, you have an iPhone with Activation Lock set, and you don’t have access to the Apple ID.


Regain that access, or provide documentation of original purchase ro Apple, or recycle it.


Creating a new Apple ID will not clear Activation Lock.


Again, nothing you can do will clear this other than regaining access to that Apple ID, or providing documentation sufficient to convince Apple of your ownership.


Activation Lock is intended as a theft-deterrent mechanism. A theft deterrent that is easy to bypass would not be much of a deterrent.


For recovering access to your own Apple ID, assuming your now-forgotten Apple ID was the holder of the Activation Lock:
