How can I restart my iphone without using the lock button or being signed into my phone?

My iphone has frozen and to fix it I need to restart my phone. I cannot enter my password as it has frozen on the lock page and my lock button has broken, any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't know of any way to restart your phone without the Sleep/Wake button. I suggest you take it to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

Quite a strange question tbh ....

Btw, the only option you have is to deplete completely the battery until the phone switches itself off, then connect it to a charger.
