UNLOCKING IPHONE 8

MY IPHONE SCREEN IS ZOOMED OUT SO FAR I CANNOT ACCESS ALL THE NUMBERS IN ORDER TO UNLOCK MY PHONE. (REASON: PUT PHONE IN POCKET WITHOUT LOCKING SCREEN.)

WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR SOME GUIDANCE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS!

Kirk , Thank you much !! Pressing those buttons simultaneously for a 5 count did come up with two swipe bars. The bottom I could discern was an emergency call , and the top was just a portion of swipe bar. (Again because it was so zoomed out)

My phone did indeed power all the way down. I let it be about 10 min then pressed & held those buttons again….and there was my normal size sign in screen!!!

Thank you again for sharing the knowledge!!!
