how long is an iphone disabled

Hi, I updated i07 late last night, put in a passcode went to bed, woke up not knowing what passcode they wanted (never set mine), then I over exceed the numbers of times and now I am locked out for over 2 hours. ( tried over 11 times) I have tried to go to itunes but get "because a usb device was drawing too much power from you computer, one or more of your usb devices have been disabled." Well I reset my passcode on itunes and icloud, but now iphone wont give me a chance to put new passcode in. Can anyone help with how long I should wait and or to do?


THANK YOU!

Either restore the device from the most recent backup in iTunes to remove the passcode or put it in DFU mode and restore as new.

Just curious, why would you not simply enter the passcode that you previously set? Per your own comments, you clearly set a passcode... either that or you're confused about what was done.
