Please either post some more information about the context and prompts and messages shown—some more information about what you are reporting, as an Apple ID does not have a PIN—or you can use the Get Support link in the upper right of this webpage and discuss this matter directly with Apple.

An Apple ID does not have an associated PIN.
An Apple ID has a password.
An Apple ID can require a verification code from a trusted device, when two-factor authentication is in use.
If you are encountering Activation Lock…
Activation Lock is intended as a theft-deterrent mechanism. A theft deterrent that is easy to bypass would not be much of a deterrent.
Nobody here in the Apple Discussion Forums can help you clear Activation Lock.
To clear an Activation Lock, you will need the password of the associated Apple ID, or the original purchase receipt and a discussion with Apple Support, or similar proof of ownership.
If this device was recently purchased and the seller is still available, contact the seller for remediation or for refund. A remote unlock using iCloud is available to the person with the Apple ID holding the Activation Lock, if that person is still available and is inclined to unlock this device.
Again, only the person with the credentials to the Apple ID holding the lock, or Apple, can clear this lock. For Apple to clear the lock, you will have to provide a receipt with proof of original purchase and with matching serial number or IMEI, legal paperwork from an inheritance, or other similar proof of ownership materials.
For recovering access to your own Apple ID, if you are the holder of the Apple ID associated with the Activation Lock:

If you are the heir:

Purchasing devices with Activation Lock is unfortunately far too common. These are scams, and other fraudulent sales. These locked devices will not be useful to you, and are probably best recycled. See the following link for more info:
I am already signed in my Apple ID!
I don’t have a passcode for my first ID.
And when I set this new one today it was not mentioned, chatted, informed to me, mandated as a requirement and more.
What is the problem?
