My iPad is old and I wanted to make a new account since since I forgot the password of my old apple id. How do I make one? It won't let me and I can't install apps

Old, new, whatever, doesn’t matter, Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, it’s intentionally not easy to bypass it, and you need access to the associated Apple ID and password, or you need the original purchase paperwork showing the serial number and a discussion with the folks at Apple, or equivalent proof of ownership. Nobody here can help you with regaining access to that Apple ID, and Apple won’t help here without proof.
