hi John.
i think you will have to do a hard reset to sort this out.
Just tap the Power button to select Reboot System Now.

2. Hold down Volume + button and Power button at same time.
3. When screen comes on let go of Power button.
4. When the large Android shows on screen let go of Volume + button.
5. Use Volume - button to scroll to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset.
