Previous password or previous Apple ID? If the password, have you tried signing out of the App Store/iTunes, restarting, and then signing back in?


If a previous Apple ID, those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID. 


Purchase History Review.   


Or you can try to set up Family Sharing to keep access to your purchases.
