Stuck in iPhone locked to owner mode and Account recovery loop

Hello,

I recently had an update that logged me out of my Apple account, and when given the option to enter my passcode, it said it was incorrect, and the password was wrong. I am now stuck in iPhone Locked to Owner mode and started an account recovery request, but the date and time have passed, and there is no update. I think it auto-canceled, and I am not sure why exactly, but I am extremely frustrated and need access to my account. It is forcing me to reset my password, but I am stuck in the cycle of needing account recovery, and it auto-cancels. I do have an Apple Watch, but that is the only other Apple product I have right now. I just need to be able to reset my password ASAP, and I can't access any of my passwords because they are now locked on my phone. I need access to my phone as I use it for business and for family out of state. I understand there is no way to expedite the process, but any tips would be appreciated.
