IPhone 4S Restoration/Recovery?

IPhone went out because I tried password too many times, now it just says "Connect to iTunes" so, when I do it says "Jeff's iPhone" and it is asking for permission via the phone, which I can't accept because the phone is locked, any way I can refresh the phone?

By the way, I turned off the phone, and it is plugged into my computer, all I see is the battery bar with about 5 red bars in it, (it was at 1% when I shut it off)

How do I restart this phone? I don't care about anything on the phone, I just want to be able to use it again

iOS 7 (don't remember if 7+ or not)
iTunes (latest version)

iMay sound dumb, if we can email me at gdugas2013@gmail.com thank you very much, I can answer any questions through email

Hold down the power button until the screen goes black, keep holding and when it blacks out hold the home button, eventually it should go into a complete restore mode, reconnect to itunes and it should work!

  • Jailbroken iphone stuck in recovery loop? One of my friends at school jailbroke my iphone 3g a long time ago and it was cool until i went to update and restore it. Now its stuck in a endless recovery loop with a screen with a picture of a usb chord below the itunes symbol. I tried going into dfu mode that didn't work. And i'm panicking right now, please help! ps: i'm know nothing about firmware, hardware or advanced stuff like that. So can you tell me how to fix it the easiest way possible.
  • Iphone will not restore from recovery mode? I tried to restore my iphone via itunes but is now stuck in recovery mode. I press 'Restore' on itunes and it downloads the software (takes about half an hour!) and then nothing happens. There's no error message or anything. I've tried this several times now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and I've tried turning off my firewall. Nothing has worked so far and my phone is out of action. Any ideas?
  • IPhone has detected an iPhone in recovery mode, Will I lose pictures? It say I must restore the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.

  • Iphone 5c stuck in recovery mode and Itunes won't recognize the phone, or that its in recovery mode? I tried updating to IOS 8 and it has the connect to itunes screen.
