Cannot update from Yosemite as App Store won't accept Apple ID Password.

I have erased my mac, and it has reinstalled to MacOS Yosemite.


Now I wish to update to the latest possible MacOS. I have attached my Apple ID to the Mac, but the App Store does not accept my Apple ID password, leaving me unable to update the MacOS.


I have tried changing password without luck.


I am on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)


Has anyone experiences similar issues when erasing? Are there any fixes?

Fixed


I ended up updating the MacOS step by step (El Capitan —> Sierra —> High Sierra —> Big Sur) through this site: How to download macOS – Apple Support (UK)


I am now able to access App Store and log in with Apple ID everywhere.
