My Mac Mini M1 had issues so I reloaded the OS, and now the password is not recognized and I can't get back in

Password not recognized after reloading the OS, locked out of my computer. It was working great, I went away for an hour and now it requires password to open again and it doesn't recognize my password anymore


Mac mini, macOS 12.6
