Assumption: It's the radio requesting the anti-theift code

 

If the radio is the original:

Check the glovebox for a sticker that might say the radio code.

otherwise,

You'll need to take the car to a dealership, and provide them with the VIN of the car, and the S/N of the radio.

 

IF the radio is from another car, you'll need 1) original car VIN, 2)current car VIN, 3) radio S/N, and 4) written consent from the original owner of the original car the radio came from stating that you legally own the radio (it wasn't stolen)

You don't need the donor vehicle's VIN or any permission letters to have the dealer generate the code.  And powering the radio down ought not have triggered the lock.
