Hi hussaini,
If you enter too many incorrect login passwords at the login screen, you could be temporarily locked out of your account.
To reset your password, follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT212190

Macs with Apple silicon or with the T2 Security Chip can impose lockouts if too many wrong passwords are entered. I think with T2 it was originally 30 attempts permitted, but Apple lowered it to 10 when they introduced Apple silicon.

Is you Mac managed by some organization. By default, there isn't a lockout for missed passwords.
If you have changed your password in the past, try the old one. At least one person reported that working when their current password stopped working after installing Ventura.
It's a common security measure for any system that requires passwords to lock you out – at least temporarily – if you enter too many wrong ones in a row.
It makes it harder for someone to crack open accounts by using a computer to quickly try, say, all combinations of one or two words in the dictionary in hopes that one such combination will be the key.
why i have been temporarily bolcked from my macbook
