MacBook Air Account Lock

My MacBook Air says my account is locked and I can not get in. I am the only user. I went under Utilities and Terminal and successfully changed my password, but still cannot sign in and get the "ACCOUNT IS LOCKED, TRY AGAIN LATER" message. What should I do?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2

Lastly, I don't know why you chose to use Terminal or anything else to change a Login password. The correct way to do that is described here: Change the login password on Mac - Apple Support. If you changed it some other way, describe what you did to the best of your ability, and I'll try to find a way to undo the mess that may have ensued.
