Default Wanting to sell phone, but I think I goofed up!

So I have someone who is going to look at my phone this evening (my 3G) and I did a reset on the phone and now it's on the "Slide for Emergency" screen. Did I goof it up? How is he supposed to test it out if I can't get past that screen?

Help please!

Connect to iTunes and do a full restore to factory settings. Put it in DFU mode if iTunes doesn't recognize it.

Thanks. I'll give that a try!

Note: DFU - Device Firmware Upgrade?

Thanks again. That worked and I didn't have to restore.

Sorry for the dumb question!
