    More than an hour has passed, so I assume your mate can get into his iPhone now.

    But just for the record, this was probably caused by entering the wrong passcode in a good number of times. After a few wrong attempts, it locks the iPhone for one minute. This interval gets longer if you keep entering the wrong passcode. See this Apple support page:

    This also happens when the phone is stolen and the thief doesn't know the passcode :-p
