Locked Apple ID reset to Factory Settings

Hi my Apple ID was locked, I can still use the phone but I can not sign out from it because it prompts and ask for a password. What will happen if I reset it to factory settings via Recovery Mode. Will I get stuck in Activate iPhone?

Thanks.

iPhone 7

If [Find My iPhone] is enabled, then yes, erasing will Activation Lock the iPhone. you will need to recover your Apple ID before doing anything of the sort. Use Apple ID - Official Apple Support to try and recover or reset your password and if you can't, be sure to Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support. Good luck to you!
