Can’t reset device password in recovery mode

My new (one week old) M2 MacBook Air keeps rejecting my device password. I’ve tried to reset the password using Recovery Assistant but I get an error message saying it cannot connect to the Apple ID server. Can anyone help please?

MacBook Pro (M2 Max, 2023)
