How is it locked? Did you forget the passcode? See the Apple Support article(s) below.
Passcode - If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone or your device is disabled.
Activation Lock? More information would help.
Ghost, thank you very much. The payment method was the reason for the locked iPhone. Once I got that straightened out it unlocked itself.

Follow the steps in the Apple Support article below.
Passcode - If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone or your device is disabled.
You need the passcode for it. Once that is entered you can choose to unIock it using Face ID or Touch ID in Settings
