Hello,

If your friend has access to a computer you could put the iPhone into recovery 
mode this will restore it to factory defaults.

Power the iPhone off.

Connect it to a computer.

Launch ITunes on the computer.

Now press and hold the power and home buttons on the iPhone and hold them until 
ITunes prompts you that it has defected an iPhone in recovery mode.

Follow the on-screen instructions and your iPhone should be in its default 
state.
