Is it possible to repair an iphone from itunes if I cannot unlock the phone because the screen is frozen black?

My phone is frozen. The screen is black. The phone will ring, but I can't answer because the screen remains black. I've tried to restart using the volume up, volume down hold the power button to no avail. The battery is good and it's fully charged. I am wondering if it's possible to do a reset via itunes if I can't unlock the stupid phone? Because of the screen, I can't make the phone discoverable to the pc.

iPhone SE, iOS 14
