Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I have tried this several times, and after 15 minutes I get a screen message that I am locked out for another hour. I have no Apple Store within 4 hours. Thanks again

You're restoring your device to factory settings and not backup correct? You need to restore as NEW!!!
