That's a sign of too many passcode attempts where it eventually locks and doesn't allow a new attempt to unlock for an hour. Some iPhones are programmed to wipe after 10 incorrect passcode attempts.
It's not going to be possible to restore without a working passcode. That's a security feature meant to keep stolen devices from being used. About the only exception I can think of is if the passcode is forgotten and an Apple Store employee might be able to restore it with a proof of purchase.
