Your friend needs to thoroughly cleanse this iPhone as follows:

What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


If that is not done, you may have far more serious problems than a passcode. The iPhone may be Activation Locked, in which case you can never use it.


Hopefully your “friend” is friendly😊
