Can you share us the exact error you got?
Is it 'This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns.'?

Anonymous2023-11-08T08:08:51.6733333+00:00 Hello Priyanka Shinde,
Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
Did you mean your user name is locked out? If so, you can sign in with local administrator and unlock this account.
And if the user account is locked out, by default it will unlock automatically after some minutes (the time is you define in the password policy).
I hope the information above is helpful.
If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou
