I forgot my passwords. I deleted my apple ID and recreated a new account with the same ID. I was able to login to icloud via browser but was unable to login to my macair. The message is "Cannot find this person" after i keyed in my passwords. Please help. Thanks In Advance.
You are welcome. I'm not sure how you deleted the ID and then recreated a new ID with the same email address. There have been posts by people who have contacted Apple Support and they were told that if you delete an ID associated with an email address, you can never reuse the email address for an Apple ID. Have you considered doing a name change using a new email address to see if that helps? Note the restrictions in the article.
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

You should use you Mac user name and password when logging in to your Mac, not your Apple ID. But, if you associated your Mac with your Apple ID, then you would use your Apple ID to reset your Mac login password.

Thank you for your help but I might have confused you.
Actually my Apple ID was compromised. Someone logged in with my passworss. I deleted my Apple ID and I recreated a new Apple ID with the same ID and new passwords.
I was able to log in from any browers with the new ID and passwords but when I try to log in to iTunes on my Macbook Air, i got this message saying "Cannot find this person". I tried to reset my passwords a few round but still receive this message again. I hope no confusion here. Thanks !

I think you are right. I did created a new ID and I can login to iTunes but i would have lost all those apps I have purchased with my old ID.
