Q: Cannot get past Activation Lock

The Activation Lock was suddenly enabled on my iPhone. It keeps telling me "the activation server is temporarily unavailable" every time for the past 24 hours. I tried to restore the phone in iTunes but it won't allow it with Find my Phone enabled. Help?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

First, that's not "Activation Lock", second, were you running iOS 7.0 Beta? If so, that's your problem.

I have a dev account and I now understand that this problem is linked to the beta version expiring. Anyone have any addl info for updating?

I tried deleting the iphone from Find my iPhone in the web iCloud. I'm hoping i didn't just make the problem worse... You wouldn't happen to have any ideas, would you?

Yes I was using the beta version. Is there a way to manually download 7.0.2? Right now it says it is on the most recent version in iTunes (which is obviously not the case)...
