Solved! Go to Solution.
It looks like you have Protected Registration, but you can't make changes to it without 2-step verification enabled on the account. Here is how to enable 2-step verification.
The Protected Registration would need to be removed before the domain can be unlocked.

Hi @connnnn,
Thanks for posting. If you want to delete the domain it should not require you to unlock it, you can delete a domain following these steps. But if you are trying to transfer the domain to a different registrar you will need to unlock it, you can see the full steps for transferring a domain here. Hope that helps!
Hello and thanks for your reply. When I follow the steps in the article "Delete products in my GoDaddy account" once I click on cancel renewal I get a pop up saying "This product can't be cancelled at this time please contact customer service".
What shall I do? I can't stop auto renewal. Thank you.
It sounds like you may have Protected Registration. That would need to be removed before the domain can be canceled.

I enabled the Protected Registration and the domain is still locked. There is no option to turn domain lock off.

@picantoIt does protect the registration from purchase. First go thru the set-up and then you'll be able to cancel the product.
