Hello,
I see you may have a disabled device or forgotten device passcode. If you wish to proceed with resetting, or if it is disabled/security lockout/unavailable, refer to this support article for various methods that you can use to resolve this. --> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support Which one you can use depends upon your equipment configuration. If you can use the iOS15.2+ method you may not need a computer.
How to reset your device if you are running iOS 15.2 or later:
Advance step: If you're using an eSIM, contact your carrier before trying these steps and ask for a QR code to set up your eSIM again.
1. From your device's Lock Screen, try to enter your passcode five times until the "[Device] Unavailable" screen appears and your device asks you to try again later.
2. When you're able to, continue to enter your passcode until the "Security Lockout" screen appears and you get the Erase [Device] option in the bottom corner of the screen. 3. Tap Erase [Device], then tap Erase [Device] again to confirm.
4. Enter your Apple ID password to sign out of your Apple ID on your device.
5. Tap Erase [Device] to permanently delete all of your data and settings.
6. When your device restarts, follow the onscreen instructions to set up your device again, restore your data and settings from a backup, and set a new passcode.
You can only reach the "Security Lockout" screen if you have an active cellular or Wi-Fi connection and previously enabled Find My ( Find My - Official Apple Support ) on your device. After you try to enter your password ten times, your device will either erase itself or show Security Lockout and the option to Erase [Device] without a timer, depending on how you previously set up your device.
If you can't follow the above steps (e.g., you are using an older iOS version), you can use a computer to reset your device, as described in this article --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support .

It sounds like your iPhone is displaying a "security lockout" message and the time for unlocking keeps increasing. This behavior is typically associated with the security feature that kicks in when multiple incorrect passcode attempts are made. This is a security measure designed to protect your device from unauthorized access.
If you're seeing a message indicating a lockout and increasing time, it means that someone has attempted to unlock your device multiple times with incorrect passcodes. Here's what you can do to address this situation:
1. Wait It Out: If the lockout message displays a countdown timer, you'll need to wait until the timer expires. Once the timer is done, you should be able to enter your correct passcode to unlock your device.
2. Correct Passcode: Make sure you're entering the correct passcode. If you're unsure of your passcode, try to recall it correctly. Entering the wrong passcode during the lockout period will only extend the lockout time.
3. Connect to iTunes/Finder: If the lockout persists and you're unable to unlock your device even after waiting, you might need to connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later). Follow the instructions on the screen to restore your iPhone. Keep in mind that this will erase all data on your device, so only use this option if you have a backup of your data.
4. Use iCloud to Erase: If you've enabled the "Find My" feature on your iPhone and have access to your iCloud account, you can remotely erase your device through the Find My app or iCloud website. This will also erase all data, so make sure you have a backup.
Remember, while this security feature might be frustrating if you forget your passcode, it's in place to protect your data and personal information from unauthorized access. It's always recommended to regularly back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer so that you can restore your data if necessary.
