picture on lock screen

I would love to know how to change that picture above where you enter your password on the screen when you open up your MacBook. I have changed my profile picture in settings, and I have even deleted the picture that keeps showing there from my photos, but it won’t change. Driving me nuts! Thanks for any help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

User profile picture not updated So I have just changed my user profile picture on the MacBook and it shows up in the settings but when I restart the computer or when I lock the screen i see another picture (in my case the orange football ball) and not the one I have chosen. I tried to change it many times with no results, how can I fix this? P.S: I know it's not a big deal but it still bothers me.

Does anyone know why my user picture is blurry on login but not when the screen is locked? 250631056. it's an old discussion, but has anyone found the solution? I've changed my user profile picture on my MacBook to a picture which is 1920x1080 and cropped it so it fits into the frame. When I lock my MacBook the user picture is fine, however when I login into my MacBook after it's been turned off the user picture is blurry. I've already seen a question like this but it was just with the login screen, they didn't say about when the screen was locked and it's a 7 year old question, so I thought it may have changed since then, any help would be appreciated.
