Recovery of what please ?  And how would I do that (see the above) ?
Also,
how would that make the phone forget my friend, accepting me as its new

Thats the whole thing : *how* ?  My friend doesn't remember anything about
his erstwhile, years old identity.

 He uses a different identity on each phone? Normally, people use the same account when they buy a new phone.
 He could login into google in a computer, and there find the list of devices, and drop the one. The old phone should accept this, if it gets internet.

If it is a different identity, assuming he still uses the same phone number, put the current SIM inside the old phone, and follow the procedure to recover the google account.
