Forced recovery mode. Press and hold home button while connecting to your computer. Keep button pressed until you see Connect to iTunes on the iPhone.

I have found another way to fix this.

While NOt connected press the home and power buttons at the same time. Wait until the iPhone turns off and DOESN'T turn on(this may take a few tries). Then turn it on the usual way and wait for it to go to the homepage screen.

The method you describe is a reset. Corrects some issues. Did not suggest since you asked about Restore. Glad it worked.
