Unfortunately, you only have a few more tries at the Passcode before your iPhone will automatically lock and not allow any more attempts. At that point, you have already lost the data on your phone and you will have to set it up again.
You can restore your data back to the iPhone from your iCloud backup or a backup on a Mac or a PC.
When you eventually see the message to try again in 8 hours, you are just about out of the 10 allowed tries.
Use a computer to reset your iPhone and your passcode - Apple Support
