If you mean the screen unlock passcode, see this support link-->If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


If you mean it is Activation Locked you will need the help of your friend. As he or she is a friend this shouldn't be a problem. See this link-->Turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
