Thanks for the mail. I have a MAC with version 10.15.7 Catalina
I have followed the instruction to the letter as given in the page you have sent THREE TIMES
No luck. In each case i get the message "phone disabled try again in .... minutes" The latest wait is 60 minutes
The recovery mode screen never appears
No that is not normal. It has taken way too much time to download the iOS unless you have a slow WiFi connection.

Following from earlier query.
Restoration completed? The phone went back to say "try again in 15 minutes" Try with what? The whole problem started with forgetting the pass code
Dear Axel
I managed to solve the problem after several attempts though i am not sure what i did right or wrong. Many thanks for your help
Great Job. Glad you got it resolved. You are welcome.
