Hello hobbs-burge,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you are unable to reset the iPhone that you got from a friend. If the iPhone is locked or disabled, you can use the following support article to restore it:


If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support


If you are not able to restore the iPhone, this article may help:


If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you are getting a message about Activation Lock, you will need to get back with her to remove the lock. See this article for what she needs to do:


Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support


Best regards.
