Can’t restore iPhone X.

Hello, everyone. I’m having a horrible time figuring this restore out so any usable advice is welcome. I have an iPhone X that I just updated to iOS 14 a couple of nights ago and ever after using it for roughly a day with the update I turn my phone on again to see that it was locked and needed my actual passcode, not password to unlock my phone. I put the passcode in repeatedly thinking maybe I kept pressing wrong buttons...needless to say I was persistent on using the same or similar passcode until it locked me out and says connect to iTunes. So, seeing no other options, I did connect it to a couple different PCs trying to restore my iPhone because the first pc I used was full on storage, now I’m trying on the second pc and it won’t let me restore my iPhone after multiple attempts and software updates to the computer.
