Can anyone help? My MIL passed her old iPhone 6 onto DD. I put in a new SIM and then tried to reset the phone. I wanted to wipe the photos, messages and contacts so chose reset all settings. I first tried to erase of settings but was asked for Apple ID password and MIL hasn’t a clue what it could be. Anyway, since pressing on reset the previously working perfectly well phone will only show the apple logo screen. I have googled but can’t get past the logo screen with what is suggested (holding down the buttons). What did I do wrong in the first place and is the phone now useless?

Is it maybe just reloading? Is there a small black bar at the bottom of the logo screen/does the Apple logo pulse?

Thank you for the responses. I did finally manage to force a restart using iTunes but I had to do it a fair few times before it actually worked.
