You need to put the phone into Recovery Mode then restore it using iTunes.
-Turn on iTunes
-Make sure your phone is NOT connceted to the computer.
Hold down the Lock button and the Home button till the screen goes black
-Release the Lock button, but keep holding the Home button while you plug the phone into the computer.
-Only release the home button once you get the notification in iTunes and the phone screen shows the itunes symbol with a USB plug.
-Restore the phone as usual with the latest iOS

I'm on a surface computer trying to reset my phone but the iTunes usb thing is still on my phone and the iphone reset thing didn't pop up on my computer so what do I do next ?
. There is no way you can do that without a computer.If you are on a windows PC, plug your iOS device and go to my computer>iPhone>and go to tools in the menubar. then click folder options and show hidden files. then click on the folder iPod_control>device, and rename the file_locked to _unlocked. safely eject your iPhone from your pc, and if you try to unlock the phone, it will not ask for the password. then go to settings>general>Reset>Reset all content and settings. The phone will be reset, and then you will have a brand new iPhone
Hope that helps
You can hard reset your iPhone without a computer by going to settings-general-reset-erase all content and settings..
