If another Apple ID is signed in you may need to enter the password for that ID to sign out of that ID first.

Unless you completely erase a device first you may be presented with some options to merge data from the old ID with the new one. If you do not want to do that you can say no where it asks you or treat the device as if you were selling it and completely wipe it.
