Lost Apple Id and created a new Apple Id to replace it but need access to old Id

Trying to transfer data from old phone to new phone.

And Old Apple Id was used at first but then replaced with a new one.

Some of the apps/data is requiring the password from the old Apple Id to complete transfer.

We tried to reset the old password but we have no devices actively using that old Apple ID.

iPhone 15, iOS 17

Delete the apps and re-download using the new Apple ID, or recovery access to the old Apple ID,


Depending on how much you recall, and in increasing order of Apple involvement and paperwork…
