There's:

How to erase your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT201274 - "Learn how to wipe information from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and restore your device to factory settings." Tap Settings > General > Reset (scroll all the way to the bottom)

but that doesn't use a computer.


There's Recovery Mode:

If you can‘t update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT201263
