I agree with you but

How can you both agree with me and dispute the answer? Sorry you don't like the answer.

Lost Mode uses the existing passcode.

There is no other way. An iPhone is a very secure device. This is part of that.

If the passcode could be changed with your Apple ID and password, it could be "stolen" from you if your account is ever compromised. Device security and account security are two separate features. They are not connected in any way.

If you know who has the device, take action on that knowledge.

If you already have a passcode on the device, you can only change it from the device itself.

Lost Mode uses your existing passcode.
