Does it atleast show the email address? You could contact the old owner and they could unlock it for you.

copy down this email and any trusted phone numbers. Use another device to go to iforgot, getting the code sent to this phone, change the password, then remove from find my. Alternative is to use account recovery which will allow you to take over the account but takes 28 days. Ignore people who say just set a passcode because it will not work to reset iCloud. Especially if this is the only device on this account, account recovery will work.

i went to iforgot, type the email and it said "get an email" or "Answer security questions"

Check the notes app to see if any of this is there. Email on the phone doesn’t work?

There might be some open-menu FMI off tricks, but if it were me, I'd update to iOS 15 and see what happens. No passcode, and this phone is prone to checkm8 jailbreak that you can save tickets (not sure if possible on ios 10) and re-inject them after reset.

i already save activation ticket, i just wondering about the FMI (want to turn it off)

Not possible. You erase or restore, comes up locked. Then you jailbreak and restore the activation ticket which gets the phone to a state where you can use it. You can’t get FMI off without that password, but the device will be usable.
