restoring iphone using arch?

hello, newbie here. i have an old iphone 6s that i forgot the password + stuck in recovery mode and just wanna restore the phone to give it to my younger brother. i heard that libimobiledevice and idevicerestore could help me with those thing but I don't know how to use idevicerestore, as quoting ArchWiki's iOS page, "idevicerestore-git can be used to update (reinstall the operating system without touching user data) or restore (reinstall the operating system and erase user data) iOS devices. " but doesn't actually tell me how to use it. so it will be very helpful if you could help me to use it and potentially fixing the iphone.

thanks! I fixed the iphone using "idevicerestore --erase --latest", and now it ran flawlessly!
