You have to disable FindMyiPhone on the device before you can restore it from a backup.

If the backup was generated when FindMyiPhone was inactive there shouldn't be a problem.

If FindMyiPhone was active then it is likely to be restored in an active state.


See iforgot and reclaim your AppleID. If you have bought a phone locked to someone else's AppleID you need them to release it for you.
