Mac Mini M1 "Your account is locked."

My niece did something to my computer.

I restarted my computer, but on the login screen to enter the password, when I enter my password it just says, "Your account is locked."

I know the password, I just don't know what I need to do to get it unlocked.

Mac mini, macOS 11.1
