Well somehow I managed to get it fixed. Maybe it can help you.
- Open finder and type Cmd+Shift+G.
- In the popup window type ~/.config and hit Go.
- .config folder will open. Now, open qBittorrent folder.
- Select qBittorrent.ini file an open it with any code editor. I have used Visual Studio Code.
- Scroll down and on line 34, you will find a variable named password_PBKDF2. Now, remove its value i.e., erase the value written inside double quotes as shown below.
- Now, save the file and open qBittorrent. You will be able to access it.
- Try avoiding a click on the lock button and if it happens again repeat this process.
