You will need to restore the device using a computer. The process will erase the device. Later you can restore your data from a recent back-up. Instructions here…

The computer does not have to be a Mac. Perhaps a friend can help pr you can make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store for assistance.

You can use a WindowsOS computer.

If you don’t have a macOS or Windows OS computer, ask a friend, acquaintance or family to use their computer, or at a public library.

Alternately, visit your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider and they should be able to help you out.

You will first have to make an appointment due to the pandemic.
