Try putting the phone in DFU mode:

* Plug the phone into the computer with iTunes running.
* Press the power button (aka sleep/wake button, the one in the upper right corner) and then right away press the home button while still holding the power button. Hold both buttons down for 10 seconds(This part is important!).
* After the 10 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home button.

If it works, then you should see a pop-up indicating that iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode (in Windows, there's also a sound effect from the OS typically to tell you a device has been recognized). You can let go of the home button when you see this. If you don't get this indication, then try again.

Once you get the popup, then click the okay button and then restore the iPhone from your backup.

For most people it takes a few times to get it right, the screen will be BLANK! when you're in DFU mode, if there's anything on it, you're not there.
