B757 experienced flap disagree EICAS message on approach and elected to go-around to accomplish QRH ...

Narrative:

We were on the ILS approach...decelerating from 190 KTS to 170. I called for flaps 20. The captain selected flaps 20 with the flap lever. Shortly thereafter we received a flap disagree EICAS message. We continued the approach and the relief pilot and the captain tried to diagnose the issue. The captain handed the relief pilot his QRH and the two of them started the procedure. I kept the speed up at 180 KTS to prevent getting too slow on the approach while they worked the problem. Inside 1;000 ft we determined that the problem was going to take too long and elected to go-around; resolve the problem; and land the aircraft safely from another approach. We informed tower and started the go-around. We received vectors for another approach.while I flew the airplane the relief pilot and the captain completed the QRH items. The QRH set us up for a flaps 20 landing. The aircraft was configured gear up; flaps 20 during the downwind and base legs to final. The next ILS approach was bumpy due to the gusty winds. Winds at 3;000 ft were 248/32. When we checked in with tower; they reported windshear on final plus gusty winds. As I recall they were reporting windshear of +10 KTS at 1;000 ft and runway winds of 250/15 gusting 30. We wound up adding almost 20 KTS to ref for flaps 20; making our target 151 knots. I fought with a headwind that got us 1/2 to 3/4 of a dot high on the glideslope. With the correction made and the extra speed on target we wound up floating [at] what seemed like half way down the runway. We elected to go-around. The main wheels softly touched right as we went around. This time we asked for tight vectors and declared minimum fuel. During the go-around we changed the configuration to gear up and kept the flaps at 20. Approach gave us vectors and we flew another ILS approach. This time tower reported windshear at 1;000 ft and a gain of 20 KTS with winds of 260/18 when we checked in. We elected to add 10 KTS to flaps 20 ref to have a target of 141. We landed in the touchdown area and successfully stopped the aircraft. We were informed that a male passenger was having a panic attack. The relief pilot called operations to have paramedics meet us at the aircraft.

Title: B757 experienced Flap Disagree EICAS message on approach and elected to go-around to accomplish QRH procedures. Extra speed on second approach led to another go-around in gusty wind conditions and Minimum Fuel was declared. Third approach and landing was successful.
