I have a MacBook Pro three years old, which I use as a back up. After a year or so of not been used, when I turn it on, it accepts my password, but then tells me that my account is locked.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.4
Perhaps this will help:
If you forgot your Mac login password - Apple Support
In particular, scroll down to the bottom to "Your account is locked. Try again in [duration]."
Good luck. Regards.
More steps (link is at the bottom of the previously-referenced support article):
If you can't reset your Mac login password - Apple Support
Regards.
I did this multiple times each time it repeats the "locked" message and says to try again after X minutes. The number of minutes, it grows larger each time.
How do I unlock my old locked MacBook Pro?
