Find My iPhone is a useful feature that protects your device from being used by unauthorized persons. However, there are situations where you may need to disable it but can't remember the password. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to address this.

- You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID password.
- Once erased, the Find My iPhone feature should be turned off.
Method 2: Using Recovery Mode
- Connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes.
- Force restart your device: For iPhone 8 or later, press and release the Volume Up button, press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until the recovery mode screen appears.
- For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, press and hold the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the recovery mode screen shows up.
