You will need to restore it through iTunes on a computer. That is the only way to get past a forgotten passcode. Start here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306. You may still have problems if your friend did not sign out of the Apple ID activation lock. If the phone has an activation lock, you will never be able to use it.

hi there,

perhaps you could call or get in contact with your friend and ask him for the password

to factory reset an iPhone follow these steps:

Tap Settings > General > Reset

Then tap Erase All Content and Settings. 

   

If asked, enter your passcode or Apple ID password

Then confirm that you want to erase your device. Forgot your passcode or Apple ID?

 

Wait for your device to erase

Depending on your device, it can take a few minutes to completely erase your data. 


good luck!
