Do you mean ther passcode to the phone? - the four or six digit number used to lock only that device. (If your Apple ID was locked you wouldn't be able to post here or indeed do anything with iCloud or Apple Music etc.)


The passcode is stored only on the phone, so it can't be retrieved. If you don't know it your only option is to erase the phone. Please see the page linked to at the top of this page.
