Delete it
No not if its iOS 7, you need the password (be aware if its stolen even the find my iphone can't be turned off regardless, and will notify them where the phone is located anytime its on Wi-Fi or cell tower.)
Factory reset it. Plug it into iTunes on your computer go to summary and chose factory reset.
Reset it to factory settings
You can factory reset from the phone itself. With iOS 7, go to Settings->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings.
No. Unfortunately it sounds like the original owner accidently didn't properly wipe the device to prevent that from happening. You'd have to get into contact with him/her somehow.
There's no way around that.
- Will iTunes wipe out my iPhone data if it wants to Set as New iPhone? I've owned an iPhone 5s for over a year, it's currently running iOS 10.3.3 but I've just connected to iTunes for the first time however I only get 2 options, either "Set it up as new iPhone" or "Restore from an old backup", but that last backup is from 2015. So, if if I select "As New iPhone" will it wipe out my data?
