How to turn off find my iphone without knowing icloud password
I just bought an Iphone 6+.
Backed up data and settings from old Iphone 5 onto Itunes and used Restore on new Iphone 6+ but contacts from old phone did not appear on new phone.
Tried backing up data from old Iphone 5 again onto Itunes. However, when I tried to Restore again on Iphone 6+, I got a message saying I need to turn off Find my Iphone. Unfortunately, Iphone requires Icloud password in order to turn off Find my Iphone feature and I am locked out of Icloud due to too many failed attempts. I also cannot use the Icloud account associated with the old Iphone 5 as I cannot remember the answers to the security questions and I do not think I entered an alternate email address.
Anyway, short of wiping my new Iphone 6+, is there any way of turning off the Find My Iphone feature without keying in a icloud password?
On another note, I tried erasing all data and settings but could not because I had to key in a Restrictions passcode and I do not even know how a Restrictions passcode even got into my new Iphone 6+!. 1 way I am trying now is to key in my normal passcode wrongly more than 10x so that whole phone will be wiped but I am now at the stage where I have to wait 1 hr before entering another wrong passcode.
If anyone knows how to contact Apple so that I can ask them to reactivate my icloud account so that I can try some more passwords, that would be helpful.Try this support document for information on how to contact Apple and account security.

How to turn off Find My Iphone when screen is black?
Hi all, I have an Iphone 4s and the screen has gone black. I have tried to restore thorugh itunes but i have to turn off Find my iphone through setting on my iphone before i can - but I can't. I have tried deleting the account through icloud.com but that hasn't worked eitheir. Can any one help? Thanks
According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline. (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.) It's a bit of a conundrum. In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on. While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list. Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone. I was then able to restore. Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear). Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone". Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

My iPhone is broken, but I have to turn off find my iPhone. So without a working iPhone I had to do it with my iPad. I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad, and I have turned off find my iPhone(iPad) on my iPad, but is it then turned off on my iPhone as well? And if it is not, what can i do to turn it off, now that i can't do it with the phone?
I do not think so, but the easiest way to find out is to try it.
edit: after rereading your post, there is not a way to try it with a broken phone. If the phone is broken, I think I would destroy it. Then it is a moot question.

How to turn off "Find my iPhone" for broken phone before passing it to repair services?
My wife's iPhone 5 is broken (water damage) and would not even switch on. We have an insurance, so it is going to be repaired. However, the repair agency advised us that we have to turn off the "Find my iPhone" function for this phone before we pass it to them for repair.
The problem is that the phone does not turn on at all, so there is no way to turn the feature off directly from the phone. It was possible to remove it from iCloud, but from what I understand it still does not switch "Find my iPhone" off.
Repair agency told us that we have to delete the Apple ID profile completely in order to make the phone repair-able. Is that correct? Is there no other way? I am afraid that if we delete the Apple ID profile, then all the purchased apps will not be accessible any more. Also this ID is in use by other devices (Mac Mini, iPad) so that's not exactly the ideal situation.
Please advise.
Thank you.I do suspect that they will not be really repairing. However, I was told what I was told, and I just would not like to end up in situation when an iPhone gets comletely locked if they manage to fix it somehow but then it would lock-out because I did not remove it from "Find my iPhone".
I could remove the phone from the account already (as the page you refer to suggests). Will that be sufficient? Erasing it is not possible because it is switched off. -

How do i turn off "find my iphone"?
my phone is in for repairs and the shop say that I have to turn off "find my iphone", because otherwise they can not make it. How do I turn it off when I'm on computer?
Hi josegrøn,
Apple Help says:
Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
Turn off the device.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete (x) button next to the device.
Regards,

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.

I have another account that i can't delete off my phone because lost my recovery key and password. How do i get rid of this account? it will not let me turn off find my iphone and delete account. Can anyone help?
Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
iCloud: Activation Lock

I tried to do this, but I'm getting a message that says I have to turn off find my iphone before I can restore. Since my Iphone is locked, obviously I can't do this. So how can I unlock it?
Put your passcode in to unlock it.
