Hello marie196,

Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:

Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

Thanks,

Matt M.
