This is going to be difficult when you forgot both your ID and password. If you can remember the email address or phone number used in the account, then you may find the link below to be helpful. You are logged to your Apple Account here.
You can try using a trusted device, such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, or Mac on which you’ve already signed in to your Apple Account using two-factor authentication. It’s a device that Apple know is yours, so it can be used to verify your identity. Learn more about trusted devices and trusted phone numbers.
