I Have had this problem before. The easiest way it probably to go onto iTunes on the computer and reset the phone. You may want to do a backup first, but just try it. I know that after trying wrong pass codes many times it will permanently disabl until reset. Hope this helps!
I have this problem with an iPhone 6s. I have tried the Apple solution - plug into PC or Mac, load iTunes, hold power &home buttons, etc. etc. I have also tried suggestions from others in the forum, which are variations on the Apple method. I have used a Windows 10 PC and a Mac Air. All software is up-to-date. Nothing works in the end. I am aware that many people who post to forums offer advice based merely on their reading of articles or other posts and not from their own experience. I am, however, somewhat surprised that some people, like me, have no success in spite of following the instructions carefully, while others report instant success.
My own advice on this topic would be to ask for help at an Apple store if you can.
