Apple ID app store

When I try to download apps, and it asks for my password, my Apple ID password doesn’t work and it says it’s asking for my moms password, how can I change it to mine?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other 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  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
