Jorg,
 

Your friend has to help you because there is no way around a login
to remove the account and the device.

 
Its not a login, but a security measure (to twart thieves).
 
As for "no way around", I just checked a phone-repair store here, and they
told me they could do it for E45,- .   If all else fails ... I have to think
about it.   As you mentioned it, the phone is old.

  Before you do that (use phone-repair store), see my response about
doing a 'Hard reset' ('Wipe data/factory reset') to Jörg.

  As to 45 Euros for this 'fix': I think that's a rip-off, because they
likely do what I suggest and that's a few-minute job (the actual wiping
might take some time, depending on the size of Internal Storage).

  And realize that for about double that 45 Euros, you can buy a quite
reasonable modern *new* phone.
