Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only unlock the device from the device itself. Locking the device does not stop it being tracked.

My account is blocked out. I registered my account for Russia because there was no that option for Ukraine. And now I can't do any purchasing, because apple store want's another payment option. What should I do? I have many apps on my account but I can't do even updating. Ps my friends here has such a problem too
Ukraine is there. It's been there for a while. I even see it now.

When using Find my iPhone, can't see the detail of my devices - just ip[hone or ipad - I have a couple of iphones, one missing, and can figure out which one to deactivate.
Is there no way to identify devices from each other?
Can't find any help in icloud either.What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone. -
i was using "find my iphone" and when given the location it was an old location. A post read that the iphone was either turned off or the wifi was not being used. A remove or cancel button appears with this message. I accidentally clicked cancel and now when trying to retrive information about the location of my device it says that I must refresh page or set up instructions. There must be a way to reinstate my account without my device physically present but I do not know how...can someone help me?

Location of devices in another places using Find my iPhone function
When I use ¨Find my iPhone¨ function or just when I try ¨iCLOUD¨ find my iPhone function, using my iPad or my MacBook Pro, my devices appear as located in another state different of where they actually located. I don´t know what to do. I guess someone stole or could have stolen my identity. Can anybody advice me what to do.
P.S. This have been happening many times, although some times they appear in the right location.What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.

I bought an iphone 5 from one of my friends and unluckily I had yet lost his contact, I had update this iphone to IOs 7 and now it's be locked at iCloud because there was no password . Actually I dont know what I must do for its. Experts, please help me!
The friend who sold it to you needed to clear his Apple ID off the phone before he sold it to you. Of course if it wasn't his phone in the first place then he could not do so. He is your friend but you don't know where he is?
There is nothing that will help you short of getting the password for the Apple ID from your friend. If you cannot obtain that there is no workaround. -

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
I deactivated my iPhone because it was stolen, how long will it take to fully deactivate?
I deactivated my iPhone because it was stolen, how long will it take to fully deactivate?
Not sure what you mean by "deactivate" but if you used Lost Mode your iPhone will be immediately locked, disabled, and effectively made useless to anyone lacking your Apple ID and password.

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

I have remote locked my mac using find my iPhone app via my iPad - I am unable to enter the unlock code as the mac keyboard won't pair with the mac - I guess that will teach me for playing...any ideas?
Thought so - ace - find my phone really needs an unlock function. - another £40...

I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove this from the bottom menu?
And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

I Lost my phone at the office building with more than 10different company and thousands of employees. since no one returned the phone and the device was already turned off i tried logging in and use find my iphone to send a message. But after days since no one is returning it i tried putting passcode on lock mode... And who would have thought that after a week someone will call me and told me that she will return the phone. But unfortunately i forgot the lock code so i cant use it. I dont want to restore it since my photos and videos are not sync to my itunes. if only theres a way that it would only just require my apple id and not the 4 digit code
There's no way to unlock it without restoring it.
