How to bypass disabled passcode on an old iPhone 4?

i have an old Iphone i need to use but my friend forgot password the last try was disabled for 60 mins scared to try again. Any ideas? I have been helping her sort her iphone 15 because emails not syncing as Google seem to think she doesn't have Google a/c but she has been using her Gmail over 10 yrs it is a mess.

in meantime, she asked me to try her iphone 4 as i'm having UK sim issues so i am to use this iphone 4 and possibly see if gmail is on it. but it keeps getting disabled. After the 60 min disable what will happen?

i have also iphone SE older model but i can't use it. i got it from my dad a year or so ago to sell or give to charity but as soon as i got it to UK from Germany it mustve updated and that update killed it. i suppose i can go to Apple Store esp as i have old iPad 4 need to get rid of too.

To test my UK sim i have been using my iphone 3. i am using a German sim in iphone 13. so sick of Brexit if it isn't parcels being charged to OAPs its not being able to use phone abroad!!!

back to iphone 4 issue. any ideas? How do i avoid it getting disabled for days and Apple having to step in?

thank you all
