I want to change my Apple ID from an email address that I no longer have access to. I type in a new email address for my new Apple ID and it asks me the password for my old email account I used when I originally signed up for Apple ID. However, I no longer have access to that old email account, so I can't type in a password. What can I do?

Hello Terrifict and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty changing the email address associated with your Apple ID.
It's important to keep in mind that, while your Apple ID is in the form of an email address, it is more properly understood as being more akin to a username. In other words, the password may or may not be the same as the password for accessing the email account.
