How can I turn off "Find My iPhone" in order to restore my phone if forgot my Passcode?

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 4S because I forgot the Passcode. I got a new 5c but when I went back to my 4s, I forgot my Passcode and now it is disabled and it says "Connect to ITunes" but iTunes says that "Find My iPhone" must be turned off before it can be restored, but I can't turn that off if I can't get into my phone. What do I do?

u may try what kappy suggested or
donwload a stock firm ware of your iOS from any external site
switch of your iPhone
put it in recovery mode ,connect to a pc/ mac with iTunes
open iTunes if it did not open on its own
it should pop a message saying "iTunes detected a iPhone in recovery mode"
click ok or hold option and click on restore
it pops up a finder window just select the firmware u downloaded
and let the magic happen
afterwards u can sync but don't restore from a back up it locks ur phone again

    Do you mean restore the backup to the broken phone? I suppose you could, as well as restoring to a new device, if you have made a backup.

  • HT201365 I've forgotten my passcode and can't get into the phone to turn off "find my iphone" in order to restore it... Help Please

    I've forgotten my passcode and can't get into the phone to turn off "find my iphone" in order to restore it... Can anyone help?

    If you know the password to your apple id login - you can then do a restoration once you have put your device into recovery mode using itunes.
    read this article to give you direction how to put your device into recovery mode.
    Once you have put in your apple id login and password this then will allow you to restore the device once the device is placed in recovery mode.
    good luck!

  • How can I turn off find my iPhone to restore when it won't let me into my phone settings.

    I went to use my phone last night and suddenly it says activation is required (which I'm not sure I understand alone) but I began to go through the steps and it says it can not activate because the beta has expired and I need to do a system restore. So I proceeded to do the system restore by plugging into iTunes and it tells me it  cannot do a restore unless I turn off find my iPhone but my phone will not allow me to look at any settings other than my wifi settings in its current state. How can I turn this off to proceed and what is going on with my phone in general?

    Force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Sometimes you have to do this more than once to be successful.  After restoring, you'll have to restore an existing backup, if you have one.

  • How can i turn off find my iphone when icloud says no devices connected?

    I need to turn of find my iphone but can't because it says no devices connected when i sign into icloud

    No...try logging in to iCloud via a computer. Go to your browser and type www.icloud.com then once you are logged in, you go to find my iPhone, under my devices, you should be able to see a list of devices that are linked to your iCloud, select the one you wanna disable and then a banner pops out, just go ahead and click on disable this iPhone and then your iCloud is going to be disabled. But mind you, you have to turn your phone off in the process of doing this. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
