Software download takes longer than 15 mins so I’m still unable to restore the passcode. What can I do?

Forgot my passcode and trying to do the restore process but as indicated if it download takes longer than 15 mins, the iPad exits recover mode. Tried the process 3x and still nothing. Any suggestions on a workaround?


thanks!!
