Apple added that to keep someone from stealing an iPhone and then resetting to factory status so they could sell it. It's unlikely someone would be allowed to do that to this particular phone.
If you don't have the iTunes ID and Password, you can't reset the phone. You can wipe a phone remotely, but that still requires the ID and password, and it just wipes, it doesn't reset to factory status.
