I am locked out of messages on my iPad. I keep getting requests for my Apple Id. The screen that pops up for messages won’t accept my apple id. It is locked. My IPhone also is getting spam texts. What should I do.

How do I fix my messages on my iPad. I am locked out. When I try to open them a message comes up to put in Apple Id but it will not accept it. I continue to receive spam message on my iPhone. I probably have them on my iPad but I cannot open my iPad messages to see. Also my iPad messages and my iPhone messages do not sync. Help!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13
