If it is asking for a passcode, something happened. Had you been using Touch ID? If so, you had to set a passcode before using Touch ID. However, at this point you are going to have to restore the device to remove whatever passcode is on there. See this for instructions, If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
