Hello phu295,


We see you need help with regaining access to an old Apple ID so you can sign in with your new one to your Apple Watch. If you aren't able to reset the password, you may need to start account recovery. Use the steps here: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password


What is account recovery?
Account recovery is a process designed to get you back into your Apple ID account when you don’t have enough information to reset your password. For security reasons, it might take several days or longer before you can use your account again. We know this delay is inconvenient, but it's important so that we can keep your account and information safe.
Before you start the account recovery waiting period, try to reset your password. 
* Learn how to reset your Apple ID password on a trusted device or through the Apple Support app on a family member’s iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can also visit an Apple Store and ask to use a device on site.
* If you set up an account recovery contact, they can also help you reset your password
Use account recovery only as a last resort when you can’t sign in or reset your Apple ID password. 


Take care.
