Q: Apple ID

How do I get my Apple ID and password? It seems I need them to do updates. The system will not accept my email address; it seems to think I already have an ID and password. News to me.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Thanks, FoxFifth, that was helpful. Now I can log in.

Sadly, it does not do me much good. Updates are supposed to be free. But it seems that I can't download them without providing credit card information. I find that very disturbing, since if I agree to that then I am saying that in future I can be expected to provide my credit card information to gain access to anything on the internet. What could possibly go wrong?
