New MacBook Air 13 is not accepting my password after restart. I have logged in a few times and it worked but won’t work now after several tries and restarts. Went through the reset using Apple ID but it still not working and has old password hint.

Begin here https://www.cnet.com/how-to/locked-out-of-your-mac-how-to-bypass-and-reset-your-password-to-get-back-in/

This process assumes that you have forgotten your password to start up your MacBook Air and will help resetting the password.
