when i plug it into my pc at home it says it cant do anything because its locked with a passcode..i brough it from a freinds co worker i mean if theres nothing i can do its ok i learned my lesson ill never buy a phone like this from a fake freind again =(

Do a DFU restore and you will be able to set it up as a new phone.

Couldn't this all be cleared up by getting in touch with the original owner of the phone? I mean, you just spent hundreds of dollars on a used device from what sounds like a stranger; did you not obtain a phone number or email address or SOMETHING from the seller? How did you even link up to complete the sale? If it was through your friend, can your friend get ahold of this person? It seems like this could be all cleared up rather easily by contacting them and saying "Hey, what was that passcode again?"
 
So it's kinda like me saying "Hey, I bought this computer from a friend and forgot the password to it, can anyone help how to get past the login?" Anyway, just call the guy and ask for the pass code. It shouldn't be that hard...
