Password doesn’t work after time machine migration

I’ve been using a MacBook 2011 until recently.

i got a MacBook Air M1 and used the time machine backup to migrate my backup.

once it was migrated, my login password for my user account didn’t work anymore (the screen briefly shakes and after three failed attempts the account is locked for 1 minute). Also when I click the button to reset with the help of my Apple ID and out in my correct password, the screen briefly shakes but nothing happens.

can someone help me?
