apple id login. problem

my MacBook Air can't login to my Apple ID after upgrade to Catalina. It was continuously giving me unknown error. I followed some steps, on the apple communities forum, and logged out of Apple ID. Now I cannot login whatsoever. Tried everything but all in vein. Password is correct. I am able to login to iCloud.com but not through my system preferences ...


Can somebody help ???

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
