If your phone is Activation Locked, enter the Apple ID and Apple ID password that it is asking for. You say that it is your phone, and you found it, so it should be asking for your credentials.

If the phone is not Activation Locked, but is in another security lockout state (because someone else guessed the wrong passcode too many times, then left the phone where they found it), you might have to reset the phone and erase everything on it, with the help of a Mac or PC.
This will presumably at some point require you to supply the Apple ID credentials associated with Activation Lock.
