Disabled old iPhone SE

I’m trying to restore my old iPhone SE which I have forgotten the password too. I’ve plugged it into Mac computer and clicked on restore. It gives just the option to restore and update. I’ve tried it a couple times but every time it says error that there was a file corruption maybe. My iPhone is in disabled mode for an hour so I’m waiting till that goes away and will replug it in and see if there’s any luck. I have also tried putting an active sim inside the phone whilst trying to update and restore but that’s not made any difference. Is there anything else anyone knows of which I can try please?


thank you in advance!

iPhone 14, iOS 18
