Try holding the home and power buttons down simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.

If that doesn't work, you can try this method (it will completely erase the device):

Restore using iTunes

If you've synced your device with iTunes, you can restore your device.

  1. Connect your device to the computer you synced with.
  2. Open iTunes. If asked for a passcode, try another computer you've synced with, or use recovery mode.
  3. Wait for iTunes to sync your device and make a backup. If it doesn't, learn what to do.
  4. Once the sync and backup have finished,click Restore [your device].

  5. When you reach the Set Up screen while restoring your iOS device, tap Restore from iTunes backup.
  6. Select your device in iTunes. Look at the date and size of each backup and pick the most relevant one.
