How to remove my old Apple ID from my MacBook?

I just got a new iPhone, it's been a little over a year since I last had one. My old Apple ID is still signed in to my MacBook, I'm having trouble removing it because I forgot my password. I can't recover it either because I forgot my old iPhone number. I need help!

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
