Troubleshooting iPhone Restore Screen:

If you have no laptop, then use a desktop. You can even use a PC for this. If you have no computer at hand, then ask someone else(i.e. friend or family member) if you may use theirs. Another option may be to perform this at work, if permitted.

For reference: If the Restore Screen Appears on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
