Yes. If it still possible to, you should erase it and turn off Find My as explained in the support document you posted from.


If not, you can at least remove it form your account on https://icloud.com.


From the support document you posted from:

*If you're unable to turn off Find My, Apple might

not be able to service your device. This policy is in force to prevent

unauthorized persons from servicing your device without your knowledge.

If you don't remember your Apple ID and password, go to iForgot.
