My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my phone

My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my pihone?

Thank you Roger Wilmut. I am grateful for your response.
I bought the iPhone new and set up by myself. I still remember apple id details. The problem is that while the update was on, I needed to enter my apple id on the phone to complete the update my screen lock has been activated. Now the phone only displays the iTunes logo and the USB cable being inserted. But I can still access my the phone contents through my laptop. I need to force the phone to restart. How can I do that? mind you I have pressed the home and power buttons together for a couple of minutes. It will only display the apple logo for a few seconds and then return to the iTunes and USB cable display. Maybe the phone is hanging. So please help me.
Thank you very much

Restore the backup you surely made before you updated, as anyone would do before updating any computing device:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Why is my iPhone locked after update to iOS 7.0.4.

Hi, I installed iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4. I have not been able to use the phone since because it is asking for a password, which I did not have before the upgrade. My Apple ID password does not work. This means that I cannot go to "settings" in my iPhone, an action frequently recommended in "Apple support.". Please help. How do I get around this?

Hello HaithamOkeely,
We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

IPhone 4 locks up while updating to iOS 4.3.2

My iPhone 4 (GSM; AT&T) just had the first major problem that I have ever encountered with my iPhone. While updating my phone to iOS 4.3.2 from an iMac (early 2006; Snow Leopard 10.6.7/iTunes 10.2.1), it hung on the update screen for 30 minutes, locked up, and could not reset or shut down. When I tried to plug the frozen iPhone back into my Mac, it wouldn't connect to iTunes at all - the iPhone was completely frozen.
I also own an iPad, and it updated to iOS 4.3.2 without any issues whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced this problem when updating their iPhones to iOS 4.3.2?

Yes this happened to me as well.
I went to download the new software today and my iphone4 froze.
I have the white apple on my screen ( when you turn on your phone) it has not gone away. its been almost an hour now.
I pressed the top button and the home button at the same time like apple support said to do. the white apple disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later.
i dont know what to do !!

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. Then try it again.

While updating to ios 6 my iphone has crashed

while updating to ios 6 my iphone has crashed, and is now stuck on the installation screen. anyone know what i can do from here?

I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

From the article that your statement was posted from:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

Did you click on the link just below that that says:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You have to read the entire support article and follow the subsequent links if the first solutions do not resolve the issue....
