What happens to all my phone data when I set up a new Apple ID for my iPhone
Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities yecap,
We can certainly understand your concern and see you came to us from the article If you forgot your Apple ID password .
To answer your question, some data are attached to the Apple ID account like iCloud Photos, iMessages, purchases, etc. When creating a brand new account this data will not transfer. However, you can recover from a iTunes backup in order to restore most of the information that is not account specific. Check out this link on how to recover from a iTunes backup:

Kindest regards!
