How do I reset a iphone5 back to factory settings

My friend gave his iPhone 5 and I activated it for service but all of his info is still on the phone. When I tried to reset the phone so it will be like a new phone it keeps asking me for the password to his iCloud account. Is the only way to reset the phone is by bringing it back to my friend?
