"Your account is locked." message after upgrade to Big Sur

Hi msheremeta,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Apple Support Communities. We see that you are getting a message that your account is locked after upgrading to Big Sur.

We're glad to help.

Are you referring to your Apple ID account? If yes, this will help: If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support

If this is a different issue, some more details might help:

• What is the exact wording of the message?

Take Care.

Hi Michelle,

I have the same problem as msheremeta and Spike-too.

After upgrading to macOS Big Sur, on login screen, when selecting my account and entering the correct password I get a message with exact wording: "Your account is locked".

When entering any other incorrect password I don't get this message.

I suspect this has nothing to do with Apple ID rather operating system bug.

Please help since I can't enter my account for more than a week now.

Take care,

Antonio

I have the same issue. Message appears at the login screen exactly as described above. Doesn’t say anything else. Only occurs when the correct password is entered.
