Forgot Apple ID password for my iPhone

I forgot my apple id password for my iphone; and so i simply created another id, with a new password.

Trouble is, when i try to GET/PURCHASE a new app, the PREVIOUS apple id appears, and i am asked for the Old/Previous password.

How do i change this to make the NEW apple id appear.

Also, i was sent a Link from a Business recently and when i try to access it, the OLD apple id also appears on my phone asking to enter the old, Lost password.......do i have to get the Business to send the Link again?

Sorry, but to different Apple IDs can't be merged, to be able to use the same purchases, unless you use Family Sharing.
