    If the restore process is restoring photos it is in the "background" restore mode.  While it is recommended that you let this complete, if has already been several days and  you can stop the process by restarting the phone.  To do this, hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  (Apple estimates that it can take up to 1-4 hours per gigabyte for the restore process to complete.)
