See if they can recover the password. Have them enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.

Is the phone activation locked? If yes:


To remove the activation lock you will need to have the Apple ID/Password of the rightful owner of the iPhone unless there are extenuating circumstances, e.g., you friend has a purchase receipt with the phone’s serial number on it or the friend inherited it through the death of someone and has death-related proof of ownership. Under these alternatives, Apple, at its discretion may remove the activation lock.
