How can I revive a disabled iPhone 11

I tried to use Apple Configurator to revive my disabled iPhone11, but before I can entering the pin code on iPhone's screen, the phone says I need to wait 8 hours, thus configurator cannot complete the action. I can't afford to loose all the pictures over the years. Is there a way to save my photos?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Thank you for your reply. As I understanding, Configurator tried to reinstall iOS on my iPhone, but failed at the last authentication step, which is to enter the pin code on my phone, because the phone wouldn’t let me do anything until 8hours later. I tried multiple times and it’s all the same. Now my iPhone is technically not having a working OS. My iCloud space is limited, so most of my content will be lost if there is no other way.

Is there anyway to bypass the 8 hours waiting? Otherwise I would be devastated.
