There's multiple kinds of "locking" on devices. Click on the links below to find instructions on how to deal with your specific situation:
1) iCloud: Activation Lock - Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support - This is a security feature so only legitimate (i.e., not stolen) redistribution of devices is possible. See: 'How to remove Activation Lock' --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support - If an activation lock was put on a device, only the owner of the account that applied the lock can remove it. Get them to remove it or return the item for a refund. If you are the owner, see the part at the end about asking Apple to reset the device.
2) Device lock: "If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled" click here if you are using iOS or iPadOS 15.2 or higher --> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support or here if you do not meet the criteria for the previous method--> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support
