If you are trying to lock the phone, use Find My Phone.


Find My Phone - Lock and track your device using Lost Mode


Find My Phone - If your device is lost or stolen


If you want to change the Apple ID password used on the phone, log in below with the Apple ID and change the password.


Apple ID - Manage


 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support     I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
