You need to sign out of the old ID after turning off Find My Phone. If there is data on the phone, you might want to do the steps in the article below.

If necessary, see if you can recover the ID/password. Use every email address you can think of.

If you forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.
