Apple ID not recognised by iphone??

Question

In the middle of trying to resolve some sound issues with my iphone, then i made the mistake of updating to the new ios in the hope it would resolve my problem.
It hasnt...
and now i cant get my phone to recognise my apple ID, just keeps telling me the password is invalid. Since im logged in here with the same details I reckon i know my password pretty well. Ive even changed it three times tonight to be sure. Still no luck!
Now the issue I have is that without being able to log into my account on the phone I cant turn off the new piece of crap 'find my phone' app, that seems to have been wonderfully integrated into the joys of the cloud following the new update. Until i can turn of this 'find my phone' thing off i cannot restore anything on my phone, which means that i cant do anything more about resolving my sound issues. So at the minute my iphone 5 is a glorified ipod that cannot connect the app store (also to note, that with thunderbolt it doenst connect to any of my old hifi kit, so it is infact a glorified paperweaight not even an ipod).
A little frustrated!
And to top it off for me i ordered my cto imac 12 days ago and its still showing as 'processing' when it should be on its way here by now according to apples claims on dispatch times. to be quite honest im almost through with apple and have a good mind to chuck this phone in the bin and sell the imac when it arrives, get myself a samsung galaxy phone and a dell desktop. the reliability of apple equipment and software certainly isnt good enough to warrant the extra pounds spent by the customer anymore! *** has happened to apple over the last couple of years??

Well, this is a user to user technical support forum. Apple does not participate here and the do not read the forums. The only question you have asked,

I have not experienced any differences. Speculation about Apple products and policies is not allowed on the forum.
Just to address your concern about Activation Lock, is it possible that you had another Apple ID when you activated this device? Or, was this a used device? The Activation Lock requires the Apple ID and password of the original owner to activate. This is an anti-theft measure.
