Yes you can, just reset the device and then set it up for your account. Also have your friend remove the device from the BES server and you're good to go.

That sounds to me like it is locked to a different carrier. Is it a Rogers branded device with a Rogers SIM?

Actually, wipe the device. A reset on a BB does not affect data. Also ensure that any IT policy is removed, if applicable.
