Jorg,
 

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
owner ?

Remove the Google-account of your friend

 
"Remove the Google-account of your friend"
 
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.

  Do you know how to actually "drop" the old phone? The only thing I
see, is a 'Sign out', but AFAIK if a device is signed out, it is still
linked to the Google Account, because you can just sign back in).

(See: Home -> Devices -> select device (*if* still listed, because as I
mentioned, longtime unused devices are not listed) -> Sign out)
