Ipad Locked w/World clock

Does anyone know how to unlock an IPad that somehow is locked with the World Clock widget. Every time I reset the Ipad the World Clock comes back, the screen is locked and the home button doesn't clear it bring me back to home screen.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Thanks for responding but that’s not the issue. My IPad turns on but the world clock app immediately opens and displays fully but it is locked. I can’t close it by deploying any of the normal iPad functionalities.
