My iPhone 13 is unavailable without time count

Hi, my iPhone 13 is not available. There is no counting time. Yesterday, I tried to log in, but I might have provided the wrong password, which was similar to my old one. Then, when I entered my correct password, it was not accepted. I tried to enter the wrong password to test if the phone is recognizing the wrong password, and my locking time was extended until I received the 'Unavailable' message. I don't have an iMac, and my daughter does. She tried to help me restore the password by connecting to her iMac computer, but it did not allow her. What to do now?

iPhone 13, iOS 18
