Q: Guided Access Without Password Locks Phone, now way out?

I inadvertantly enabled guided access and am unable to get out of it.

 

When prompted for the initial password, I pressed Cancel instead of entering a password.  It enabled guided access and wants a password to disable it. 

 

I tried to connect and run an app via xcode and it went to home screen but then said the phone was Disabled.  Now even a triple-click won't get the guided access to prompt for a password.

Update: sorry, searched before I was in the group, found the answer afterwards..

 

 

Hold power and home button for 10 seconds to power-off phone, should be undone when it comes back on.
