No.
Security is one of the top priorities at Apple.
Communication on your iPhone is encrypted as well as the data that resides inside of it.
Without an Apple ID password, it is impossible to get into the device without having physical access to it.
You can find some interesting information by reading about the FBI–Apple encryption dispute happened in 2015 after the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, CA.
Apple was ready to go to court against the FBI, which eventually dropped the case.
In the end, the FBI was allegedly able to get into the iPhone by the help of a third party company, which had to disassemble the device to find information about the decryption key of the phone.
This is a very dangerous practice as it could have permanently damaged the iPhone with the subsequent lost of all data.
The FBI had to go with it as it was the only option left available.
Trust me, if the FBI had access to our Apple devices, it wouldn't have had to go through all this to break into that iPhone.
