Sign in with your old account information. If you do not have it, you will need to find it again or apply for account recovery. If you were still using security questions you will also have to request being upgraded to two factor authentication. You will also have to hope Apple still has the account and isn't doing as it says it would do: Legal - iCloud - Apple
