ios 14 update frozen screen after restore

IOS 14 downloaded on iPad 6th generation device, but screen is now frozen at language set up. Multiple restores through desktop (Catalina) fails to clear screen freeze. iPad will not power off either through the slider. Tried to set up through iPhone 11 link also, but need to enter iPhone password on iPad- which is not possible either since iPad screen is touch unresponsive. Any help would be much appreciated- thanks!

Regret to report that I have tried all steps at this link and problem persists. Have restored iPad several times, and even updated to iPadOS 14.0.1 Screen will reboot to Apple logo, then to Hello screen, then to Software Update Complete screen. There is a blue Continue prompt to press to go on, but screen does not accept any touch commands and set up is stuck. Power Off slider also does not respond to touch. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Frozen screen problem still persists after successive downloads of IPad OS 14.0, 14.01, 14.1, and 14.2. Cannot even swipe turnoff control. Have restored several times with no change. It will load the initial setup screen to pick a language and will not respond to screen touch after that. I have had to buy new iPad 2020 model in order to continue my work. Meanwhile other iPad is useless.
