I got to the last one where I am trying to restore my phone, but I can't because it won't let me shut off Find My Phone in iCloud. I have to do this to restore the phone. It won't recognize my Apple password. Ugh!!! I even tried deleting my iCloud account and it keeps denying me because it says I have to delete Find My iPhone first! I deleted theFind my iPhone app and that didn't work. It still detects it in the cloud. I tried re-downloading the Find My iPhone app again to see if that would help and it won't let me do that either.

I'm afraid you may need to contact Apple support for help at this point. If you want to do this, go to http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/, then 'Account and Setup', then perhaps 'Troubleshooting iCloud Account Issues', then 'Continue'.
