You may or may not be able to track a lost phone if it is powered off. We assume that you enabled Find My on the phone.....before.....it was lost, correct?
You will need your Apple ID to be able to try to track the phone using Find My. There are no other workarounds for this.

Post back when you have recovered your Apple ID Password if you need more assistance.

You don't need an Apple device to check on an iPhone that had Find My enabled. You can use the iCloud Web interface: https://www.icloud.com/
You will need to log in using your Apple ID and Apple ID password.
Wondering why Apple says......"iPhone Findable After Power Off"......when you turn off your phone.
Yes, I have actually been able to make this work on a few tries.....but it's really hit or miss. Think crowdsourcing. Same concept is used with AirTag.
We've tried it, and it doesn't work for either of our phones, which are an iPhone Xr and a 14 Pro.
Even weirder, my wife had accidentally left her phone at her aunt's house. We weren't sure where it was at first, but tried to locate it with Find My. Despite the phone being on, Find My insisted the phone couldn't be located. Which made no sense at all since when we went back to check her aunt's house, the cell connection strength was at maximum. So, how could Find My not locate it?
I do get what you're saying, though. Just like your TV is never truly off (else, how would your remote turn it on), an iPhone is never truly off. If it were, then it wouldn't know the user tapped a button to turn it back "on".
Need to do a lot more testing, but If I power off my iPhone on my desk, wait 15-20 minutes and use Find My on the iMac desktop in the next room, Find My can locate my iPhone....about half of the time.
If it's turned off, it's impossible to track. No power, no signal for cell towers for the phone to ping off of. You won't see it in Find My until it's turned back on.
