What do I do if my IPhone 4 will not slide to unlock?

My IPhone will not slide to unlock. It will only slide about a 1/16 of an inch but will not slide to unlock all the way.

You'll have to reset it all you is hold the lock button and the middle button wait 10 sec until it restarts that should fix the problem

Hold the lock button and the home button together for approx 10 seconds and when you see the apple logo appear release the buttons. The phone will now be reset and hopefully when it loads back up it should be fine.
