how to change apple ID email when I don't know the email password?

I made my apple ID wayyyy back so I currently use the email I made in, like, 6th grade, and I have no clue what the password is. I'd like to change it to a different email so that if anything goes wrong I have access to my apple id through email, instead of all alerts going to a random email that was created a long time ago.

is there any way to change the Apple ID's email without giving the current email password?
