Two options. The first, assuming you don't have a hardware fault with the home button, is:
Power off the Note 4. Press and hold both Volume Up + Home + power on. In the recovery menu select data factory reset with Volume buttons. Press power to confirm.
If this doesn't work and you have set up either the android device manager or the samsung find my mobile service, then you can reset the phone through that.
Good luck!
