Reset your Mac login password…

If that doesn't work & FileVault isn't on or you have no T1/T2 chip...
You can create a new administrator account by restarting the Setup Assistant:
Be very careful to notice the spaces in those Terminal Commands.
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine, except all your data will stile there. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

it worked! I’m logged back in! Now it keeps locking the administrator on my computer how do you get it to stop logging out?
Great news so far, check Sys Prefs>Security & Privacy for Require Password after xx time.
Awesome!! Got it!! Hopefully that will be all!
thank you so much!!
Great to hear, take care my friend. :)
