Hey Big_E_31,


Thanks for reaching out for support, we'll do all we can to help out. if you've forgotten the Apple ID information associated with your old MacBook Pro, use the following resources best equipped to assist with regaining that information:


If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you forgot your Apple ID email address or phone number - Apple Support


If this is a matter of removing Activation Lock, you'll find additional info here: Activation Lock for Mac - Apple Support


You're also more than welcome to just set things up on your new iPhone using the new Apple ID and password. To do so just go to Settings > [your name] > Sign Out and chose to remove the data associated with your dads account from your iPhone.


We hope this helps out.


Take care!
