Launch iSumsoft iLock Refixer and choose the Turn off FMI option on the main interface.
When you get to the next page, make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and turn off the network on your iOS device, and then click Start to proceed.
The software will recognize your iOS device and start turning off Find My [device]. Please always keep the device connected.
Tips: If your device is plugged in but the software does not recognize it, just unplug the iPhone and reconnect it, or use another Apple USB cable.
Now, you need to check if Find My [device] is really turned off. The result viewed from your iOS device is often inaccurate. The best practice is to open this page, copy the serial number of your iOS device into the box, and then click the Query button to query the status of Find My [device].
If the query result shows that Find My [device] is OFF, then you can start removing the Apple ID from your device.
Tips: If the query result shows that Find My [device] is still ON, then it may be that your computer's network delay caused the turning off failure. Don't worry, just return the software to the Turn off FMI interface and click the Start button to try to turn off Find My [device] again. If necessary, you can try turning off Find My [device] several times until the query results show that it is OFF.
Note: Attempting to remove Apple ID or reset iOS device with Find My [device] turned on will cause the Activation Lock screen. If you don't have the original Apple ID and password, you will eventually have to use Option 1 above to bypass the Activation lock to access the device. If you don't want to get into such trouble, make sure that the Find My [device] is OFF before removing the Apple ID.
After making sure Find My [device] is OFF, select OFF from the drop-down menu next to Find My [device] is, and then click Confirm. You will be prompted that removing the Apple ID will delete all data on the device. Click Yes to continue.
The software will start removing the Apple ID from your device. This takes only a few seconds. Your iPhone data will be erased.
The Apple ID has been removed successfully from your iOS device. Now you can use a different Apple ID to set up your iPhone.
