Question: Trusted back up number changes

The “trusted number” that is on my account is an old number that needs to be updated. This number serves as a contact to reach me if my number is not available. In order to change the trusted back up number to a new backup number Apple is asking for the password pin to get on the phone tied to the old phone number. I don’t have that. What are my options?

iPhone XS, iOS 13
