I cannot even get that far.  The OS doesn't allow me further than the
"choose a WiFi network" screen, so it can "verify my identity".
 
... something that we won't be able to complete, because of what you quoted
in the above.(no knowledge about the phone or whats on it anymore)

Your friend has to help you because there is no way around a login to
remove the account and the device. The device is - as Carlos explained -
tied to the identitiy of your friend. This helps to avoid theft of
mobile devices.
