Forgot Password on newly MAc Studio and can't login

I recently migrated from an old imac to my newly accuired MAC studio. The problem is I can't login. It says my password is wrong but I only have 2 possible passwords. One was asked when doing the migration and the other one is the password from the old Imac. Which one is correct? I had to use a different keyboard but I can't see what I am typing.

I also can't see a reset password nor boot into recovery mode. The only thing it says is "Your account is locked. Try again in 1 hour"


I hope someone can help me because I have so limited options on the newly installed mac studio.

Thx

Normally during the new Mac setup and migrating from your old Mac or backup you use the old password on the new machine. However if that is not working then read through this process:
