Disabled home button and opening phone

The home button on my iphone doesn't work- I used the virtual home button from AssistiveTouch but I have had to restore my iphone through my pc and now can't get back into my phone to start set up as the first action is to press the home button! Any ideas to get me going again?

Unable to set up iPhone - no home button I have an iPhone 6s that has been factory reset, then set up using a backup. Once reset, the phone displays a message saying 'press home to open' which I can't do as the phone's home button does not work. I do not have any spare buttons to replace it with. Is there a way to set the phone up without it? Thanks is advance

Get an appointment at an Apple Store to get your phone fixed.
