iphone device not available please try again in 7 hours and 49 minutes how to fix it?

I typed the wrong iPhone password code many times and it got stuck, the phone was put into safe mode in order to try to recover data by itunes when I connected it to my laptop. Now it's locked for a week, how do I reset it or get it back to normal?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15

The message does not say seven days, it says seven hours. Wait a little more than the 7:58 it says, put the phone into DFU mode again, and connect it to any PC running iTunes. Of course, if you kept inputting the wrong Pass Code after you took this photo, you will need to wait the time currently stated on the screen. Once you input your Apple ID's email address and password into iTunes when prompted, iTunes will erase the phone, including the Pass Code you cannot remember, and restore your phone to new condition. From there, you can set it up and restore your latest backup.


Good luck.
