Lockdown doesn't require password unless your device settings require password – it normally just kicks it back to requiring pin. Which is still quite secure. I don't know what you mean saying it is disabled by default – it is available by default if you long press the power button and click Lockdown.
Even better is to reboot the device. Then it will be in lockdown mode – pin required – and also encrypted awaiting the pin. A modern device fresh from a restart should be quite hard indeed to crack without some alternate access to the person's Google account.

In my experience, the 'show lockdown option' is off by default. You have to enable it in settings before you can use it.
Requiring a pin on startup used to be the same, but it's not even an option anymore, it's just on.
I was also refering to pin/pattern lock as your password for android, perhaps not the best wording.
