Do you have any apps on your iPad from that account ? All apps (and anything else that is downloaded from the stores) are tied to the account that downloaded them - delete the apps linked to that account and buy and download them on your current account.


Or if it's the previous version of the same account try : What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
