Welcome to the Apple Community John.
Enter the pass code you set up when locking the phone or the screen lock code already in use on the phone if you weren't required to set one up when you locked it.

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

My iphone has been stolen during a concert. I tried using the app Find my iPhone but it said it was offline. Is there any possible way you could help me? please help!
No. If it is offline then it is not capable of being located over the web.

My iPhone getting stolen,how I get the actual location the full address to find my iPhone way using the apps find my iPhone?
If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing - the app is for tracking a device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to pay for it.
If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).

Will an iphone 4 on a pay as you go basis let me use the app "Find My iPhone"?
If I purchase an iPhone 4 (not under contract) and use the pay as you go basis, can I use the app "Find my iPhone"?
Phone needs to be connected to wifi or cellular data in order to track your phone via fmp.
also need fmp enabled in icloud settings along with location service. -

I lost my phone and I don´t have the app find my iphone
I lost my phone and I don´t have the app find my iphone
You don't need the App but you must have turned on "Find My iPhone" in Settings > iCloud.
If you have "Find My iPhone" enabled then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -
The app "find my iPhone" need an upgrade Immediately!!!
o.k- my iPhone got stolen about a week ago, i had the app "find my iPhone" but the problem is that the thief deleted the app from my iPhone, my question is- why Apple didn't developed this app in a way that, you need to type in your apple ID for deleting it or cancell the option of deleting this app.
if this app could not be deleted we will be able to locate our iphone everytime......The app being installed has absolutely nothing to do with whether you phone is locatable or not.
The "Find my iPhone" app is ONLY for locating another iOS device from the one it is installed upon. Even if the thief deleted the app, the service would still work.
Apple has built-in passcode locks to both the phone as a whole, and to the accounts section, so your iCloud account cannot be deleted without entering a passcode. Presumably, you did not setup either of these locks if the thief was able to turn iCloud off or delete the app.
However, the thief only need to restore the phone, or power it off for it to be untraceable. Find my iPhone is not intended for tracking purposefully stolen phones. It is for misplaced, lost phones. -
Will the app Find My Iphone work on an iPod that was stolen with no known wifi?
My Ipod Touch was stolen a few weeks ago and I have it connected to the app Find My Iphone. When it was stolen the wifi was turned off. I was wondering if the theift were to turn the wifi on if I could send them a message to return it? (from an unregistered wifi.)
No. The Find feature requires that the iPod be on, location services is on and wifi on and connected.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

Help
I need any help i can get, im having trouble with the app find my iphone. I have lost my iphone, checked on the computer, and somehow, took it away so how do i get it back??If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone) so that person can find their iPad coz the police would of taken mine if I did not show proof of purchase
You are not communicating with Apple by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user and cannot fix anything.
The Find My iPad service may have indeed been accurate to the limits of the technology. Unless the iPad was a 3G unit, location is determined based on the nearest WiFi router which in your case could just happened to have been yours. The police may be the ones who need to "fix" their understanding of how the technology works and its limitations.
If you want to provide feedback to Apple on the matter, you can do so via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
but to be of any good you'll have to provide them with more precise details.
