If you want to update the phone or postpone the update until night, you will be asked to enter the password of the phone. If you do not see the keyboard, restart the device by pressing the following steps:

  1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
