That depends on why it’s disabled. If you forgot the phone’s screen unlock passcode you don’t need any Apple ID.

See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Or watch this companion video ⬇️

If the phone is Activation Locked, however, only the Apple ID that was used to enable Find My on the phone will unlock it.
