In order to turn off Find My iPhone or factory reset the iPhone in order to erase all data, the Apple ID password is required. This is a great security feature as you can easily put a misplaced or stolen iPhone into "Lost Mode" which locks the screen and displays a custom message to help recover it if found. Apple says "While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can't be reactivated without your password."
