Activation lock

i lost my phone recently and put my phone on lost mode.

The other day I received an email saying my activation lock requires my password. Does it mean who ever has my phone tried to open it?

More likely it means someone sendt you that email to be able to get your password so they could remove the lost mode/activation lock
