Hello lindseyp56,


We're happy to provide some guidance so you can download apps to your iPhone under your Apple ID. Based on what you describe, it sounds like your mother's Apple ID was used with the App Store app at one time on your device. If you are trying to update apps already installed, you'll want to delete them, then install them under your Apple ID: Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you are instead receiving a passcode, your device may have Parental Controls set with restrictions from your mother's device. You'll want to speak with her in regards to that.


Take care.
