Can't log in to a new Apple Account in my iPhone as I turned activation lock on

I want to log in to a new Apple ID in my iPhone. But I can’t log in as I have activated the activation lock previously. I know the Apple ID login credentials (email id and password). But I find no way to go to my Apple ID from the settings of my device. Unfortunately, I logged in to my Apple account from Safari and removed my device from the account. I don’t know what else to do so that I can turn off this activation lock mode. What to do?

By the way, removing the device from your account should have disabled Activation Lock. Erasing the device just prepares it for using the new account. In theory you should have been able to sign in with the new account without erasing the device, though then you run the risk of items from the old account remaining on the device which can be a nuisance when using the device with a new account. You said, "But I find no way to go to my Apple ID from the settings of my device." What did you mean by that? Tapping on your name should have let you go into the account part after you entered your password. If it did not, were you using Screen Time on the device? If yes, did you disable it?
