I reset my apple ID and password for new iPhone 5. Now my iPad is stuck with old ID and I can't remember the old password in order to change apple account on iPad.....

I would like to enable my new Apple ID onto my iPad but in order to do that I have to delete my previous Apple ID with password. I have tried to retrieve my password several times with no success. Does anyone know how to bypass this step? I can't even reset it to factory settings without the old password.
Thanks for any help.

There is no way to bypass this step. It's Activation Locked. You can read more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You will need to resolve the password issue for your old Apple Id to move forward.
To reset your password follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
If you are still having issues, contact Apple via phone so they can help you reset your password: http://support.apple.com/kb/he57

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing the number for Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I can not back up my iphone because it is locked and I can not remember the code

I can not back up my iphone because it is locked and I can not remember the code

You're out of luck, then. Either that is not the computer it's set up to sync with, or the passcode was set AFTER the last time you synced, as Lawrence tried to explain.
You're going to lose your data.

Some of my tunes are assigned to a former email address and I can't remember the password. The security questions won't let me pass my date of birth, which they say is incorrect! I think I know my DOB. What can I do to remedy this

My laptop now has a different email address so there are certain tunes that won't play as hey are assigned to the old address. I can't remember the old password and the security question won't allow me past my date of birth, which they say is incorrect!! I certainly know my DOB. Is there anyway I can unlock these tunes?

Have you exhausted the options here?

Looking for help deleting an old icloud account the email address is no long valid I thought I changed this and deleted it previously but the iOS 7 update brought it back and won't let me delet any suggestions

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
