General Discussion / Rather Urgent

I have got myself in to a real pickle, and it is entirely of my making. I dig myself in deeper and deeper every time and I need help. I will try to explain.
My sister gave me a ten year old iMac and eventually I have it up an nearly running. But my downfall is due to passwords. I sorted out my Apple ID which is the same, obviously, as my iPad and iPhone. No problem there then, but for some reason Apple want a password for my email address. I don't know it. I should have used Gmail because I have no intention of having email on this apple computer. It is just for me to play on in my old age and to keep my ageing brain sort of active. I can't knit any more due to arthritis and I have no idea how to crochet so I keep going on my computers.
I asked Poul to give me a new password for my One.com webmail which I think he will have done to keep the old girl quiet. What he didn't know was that I had already changed the password to something else. When I went on to access my webmail I couldn't because my password was not accepted.
The chat facility on One.com obviously didn't understand what I was talking about and they gave me instructions to go on and change my password but I have to know the CORRECT password in order to actually go on to One.com.
I don't really know what anyone of you can do to help
