If you do that you will be forced to set up as a new iPhone unless she can restore from iCloud. what I do is hit restore, then when the thing comes up hit download only the navigate to where the ipsw is store which is ~/library/itunes/iPhone Software Updates then download the copy the ipsw to the desk top then option click the restore button once you have her phone connected if it will let you and then brows to the ipsw file and follow the prompts. if the new phone dialogue comes up I don't' know what to tell you as I actually had the same question at one time and could not restore this persons's phone even when I started a new library.
