What passcode is it talking about when I'm setting up my new iPhone transferring data from an Android and it asks for the passcode to my other iphone. I didn't have another iPhone I had an Android what passcode does it want?

Probably you are referring to Activation Lock.


If you are the owner or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.


If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their Apple ID.
