There'sa number of things you can try...
The first is to take it into a shop where they can unlock phones for you. They might be able to use a data cable to bypass the phone and get it reset (am not sure of this is even possible).
Another alternative is to take it into a T-Mobile store to see if they can assist you in bypassing the pin.
However, in both instances you must be aware - since mobile phone theft is a serious problem almost all networks are very cautious about this kind of request especially since your friend gave you the phone, moved away and has never been heard from again (strange friend - moved and then never bothered to keep in touch ever again). This is not what I am saying but this is what they may say and ask you. Also, taking it into a shop to ask them to unlock/remove the pin may also result in the same kind of questioning (the phone could very well be a stolen phone for all they know).
Those are really the only options you have unless you buy a data cable yourself (£10-15 generally) and see if you can find software to bypass and reset the PIN. As I said though, even this I am not sure as to how sucessful it will be since I've not tried with any of the more newer phones.
