    I lost my iPad 2 (OS 8.1), Find my iPhone was activated. It's a Wi-Fi only device.

    I changed my Apple ID password after I lost the device.

    Will the Find my iPhone functionality still work?

    or do I need to change my Apple ID back to what it was before it got lost.

    Yes.

    The 1st thing to do if you even think you lost your device is change your AppleID password.

    or do I need to change my Apple ID back to what it was before it got lost.

    No.
