Accessing a Locked iPhone Outside the Time Allotted:

You can't. Wait the three hours --like it or not. If you don't, and you keep fiddling with it, then you may be locked out for good. So, let it sit, and then get to a computer after this allotted time has ended: If you Forgot your iPhone Passcode - Apple Support

"thats not what i wanted to hear but thank you. i appreciate your reply. ill just be patient."

Give Apple a Call After Waiting Time has Ended:

You are most welcome. Just wait it out. Once you get offered to log back in, I would give Apple a Call, to fix this with confidence..
