A Locked iPhone:

Being this so-called friend of yours has not logged out of it, it is locked under her account. She needs to unlock this herself. Once unlocked, have here perform as instated here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade In your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.


Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:

Your iPhone is locked. So, get this serviced.


Hold it Right There!


Being Locked Out...

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


No Success?

Contact Apple support:

If you cannot get the above link to work, then contact Apple Support.
