Locked for Straight 3 hours when Password is 100% Correct.

I can't understand what happened I swear. I entered the code the first time i must have accidentally typed in my pocket some random numbers so the phone locked for 4 minutes. The second time I missclicked the numbers and then again 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes I typed the correct password and for some reason it got rejected and Locked for 1 hour. Same after 1 hour same thing, phone locked everything locked and still can't be on my Iphone. Now I tried to restore and its stuck on the restore mode and I can't leave. Idk anymore

iPhone 11, iOS 18

The iPhone knows absolutely the correct passcode; it is stored in a secure area in the processor chip. If you are not entering the passcode that the iPhone knows you cannot unlock it and you must follow this guidance→If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support
