Be sure that you selected that you are replacing a stolen phone not a damaged one. If you're having trouble with the website, call them and speak to a representative.

It is NOT for people with stolen phones. Removing it from Find my iPhone will defeat the purpose of Activation Lock, which is to prevent stolen phones from ever being used again.
