Restore your iPhone to Factory Settings:

Your best bet is to restore your device to factory settings. Then, see if this is usable.


Restoring to Factory Settings:

Go Here: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to Factory Settings - Apple Support


Cannot Restore?:

Use this Site: If you See an Error when you Update or Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support


Have any Backups?:

If you never created an update, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always create a backup of your iphon device, prior to all of this. That way you have something to restore your iphone from should anything go wrong with the reset.
