You can disable Activation Lock and thus Find My iPhone here: https://icloud.com/find


Sign in with your Apple ID. Tap All Devices, find your device in the list and tap Erase Device. You do not need to enter your phone number as you have not lost your iPhone. Make sure your iPhone is on (if it can be turned on) - Find My iPhone will be disabled and the phone will be erased when the phone is on and connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular Data.


You will get a message when your iPhone has been erased. You can then select Remove from Account.
