When you reset your Apple ID, did you change the email address in your existing Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? If you changed the email address and password in your existing ID, did you do the steps in the article below?

If you created a new ID, one option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
