Bought a phone and can't set it up.
I bought an iPhone 7+ on Facebook and it is asking for the old owners apple ID and password in order to set up the iPhone. What do I do?

The only way forward is to get the previous owner to help you release the phone (as this is a feature meant to render stolen devices useless)
See: Turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support (see the "If you bought the device from someone else" section).
