Hi guys, I need help! 🥹 I installed latest updates on my Macbook Air but upon logging in, I can’t seem to log in anymore and my password keeps getting rejected. I’ve ensured that the password I have been typing is correct tho! Now my account is locked for 3 hours, what to do?!! I need to watch Jungkook’s Live! This is a matter of life and death then! Hahahahahahha

If you don't have filevault enabled, you can change your password via the macOS recovery (via google: https://nordpass.com/blog/how-to-reset-mac-password/)

if you do have filevault enabled, you'll either need your password to decrypt it in recovery mode. Not that if the issue is with the macOS installation, your password may actually work to decrypt your drive in recovery mode. If so, you should be able to reset your password using the steps in the link above.

Best of luck
