    If the phone really wasn't connected to Wifi or Cellular, then it won't be locked. However, it will lock automatically once it gets in range of a network again.

     

    When you locked the iPhone on Find My iPhone, there were two options. If your iOS device already had a passcode, that passcode is what you would enter to unlock the device. If you didn't have a passcode, it would have asked you to choose a passcode, and that passcode will be required to unlock the device. iCloud: Use Lost Mode
