Force Restart during Initial Setup Process?

Hello,

Is it possible to reset the iPhone’s setup while in the middle of it?

I reset my phone completely and began the initial setup process (with Language selection, etc). When prompted to, I used another device to carry over settings from- this was a mistake, I didn’t want that to happen. Is there some way to go back and undo my setup/do it over from the very beginning again? I’m not able to ‘force reset’ by holding Home and Power buttons, nor can I reset the device from this stage using iTunes.

To clarify, I would like to be able to restart the setup process from the very beginning, as if I had just performed the factory reset without setting carried over from a device synced during setup. Does anyone know of a solution?


Many thanks!

iPhone SE
