I wiped my iPhone (to restore from backup as there was too much useless data taking up space) and might have forgotten to turn off Find my iPhone before doing so. Now it won't let me restore!
What can I do?
Thanks for your help!
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
I can't as I've already wiped my iPhone, as mentioned In any case, I tried it again and it worked, which is strange given that I did the exact same thing both times. The only difference is between attempts, I tried to sign in to Find my iPhone on my computer. Once I entered my password, it prompted me to change my password to a more secure one. I decided not to as I didn't want to go down a rabbit-hole of cascading problems. (once I change my password, I have to go changing keychains, etc.) In any case, after that, I tried again and it worked. Who knows why but it worked!

Sing back in the phone with your Apple ID and Password. Then turn off Find My. Then sign out. Then try to restore.
I'm glad it's working for you.
