What if this doesn't work, or what if it doesn't find your Apple ID? You can try one of the next two options:
Find a Forgotten Apple ID by Email or Old Email Address
This is a more advanced trick to search multiple email addresses, which is incredibly helpful if you switched email accounts at some point in time and that's what has caused the login problem. This can be done with any web browser in iOS, OS X, or Windows:
1. Open the web browser of choice and go to this Apple iForgot website: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid (creative name, eh?)
2. Enter the first and last name associated with the Apple ID, your current email address, and any and all prior email addresses to start the reset process
3. Answer the security questions associated with the user to complete the reset process
This will help to find the Apple ID, but if you can't recall the password to that ID then you'd need to go to the next step as well.
Reset an Apple ID Password from the Web
You can also start the password reset process from the official Apple ID website, this also can be done any device as long as you have a web browser:
1. Go to this My Apple ID site and under "Manage your Apple ID" choose the "Reset your password" option
2. Enter the email address associated with the account and answer the security questions as usual to complete the password reset process
Finally, if you're completely stuck, you're annoyed, confused, or none of the above has worked, you can contact Apple directly about your account here (Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security ) or at you local Apple Store and in many situations they can help you to regain access again.

Nowadays, I believe that all users must actually have an AppleID to use iTunes, which is different than a password for iTunes. In other words, I used to sign into iTunes using my iTunes user name and password, but somewhere along the way, I was required to acquire an AppleID instead. An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple: Shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, access the Apple Support website, and more.

I cannot tell by your question if you already have an AppleID and forgot the password for that account, or if you're trying to use your old iTunes account and forgot that password. If it's the latter, I don't think your old iTunes user name and password would work anyway. But I could be wrong.

If it's the former, here are the instructions for resetting your AppleID password (copied and pasted, obviously!):

Your Apple ID and password is the key to gaining access to the App Store, and Apple has a username and password locator tool to recover forgotten information.
Your Apple ID is usually the same as the primary email address attached to the account, and cannot be deleted once created.
As a security precaution, Apple resets your account password and allows you to create a new one rather than display the previous password.

Visit the Apple Forgot ID page, and click "Forgot Your Apple ID?" underneath the text field.
Enter your first and last name, current email address and up to three previous email addresses. Click "Next" to use the Apple ID locator to pull up all Apple accounts linked to the entered email addressees.

Click "Email authentication" and click "Next" to have the Apple ID sent to your email address. Open your email account, and open the message from Apple.
The message contains a link that redirects you to the password reset screen.

Enter the new password, and reenter it in the confirmation box.
Click "Reset Password" to submit the changes.
A confirmation email is sent to your email account with the name of your Apple ID and a confirmation of the new password.
Click "App Store" on your Macintosh's desktop dock and click "Store" on the application's menu. Click "Sign In" and enter your Apple ID and password.
Click "Sign In" to log into your account.
