iPhone 8 - Restore

I have an iPhone 8 which I am trying to restore. When connecting to my Macbook & setting in Recovery Mode, it instantly flicks to 'iPhone is disabled - try again in 15 mins'.... then gets stuck on the 'Press Home to Recover' screen.... if I try the Recovery Mode (Volume up & down + side button) the whole scenario starts again.... phone is disabled, wait 15 mins etc.......
