You'll need to recover access to the old account. There's no way around it. You won't be able to remove it from the iPhone without the password. You should never let signed in accounts on devices become inaccessible as things can get very complicated.


If you no longer have access to the associated email address, you will need to put in for an Account recovery. See here: link-> How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you have changed your ID or password, have you followed the steps in this article on all devices/computers? Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
