My new iPhone is stuck on "Hello" screen after data transfer

I purchased an iPhone and transferred data from my old iPhone. The phone does not go past “hello” . I’ve tried to access through iCloud and iTunes but the device is not recognized. The company require s I erase before returning but I can’t do it because I can’t access the device.
