[MacTUG] Apparently Friday was My Account Stopped Working Day

[Dani Roloson]

First one just started working eventually.

Second one required me to reset the password from our account AND reboot.

Third one allowed the user and us to login but not unlock anything. Ours said try again in 15000 minutes which is about 11 days.   Required SMC reset.

No idea whether to blame M1, T2, or Big Sur.

Strange but it worked on a M1 despite the article saying Intel only.  Another article says only Apple can reset M1 SMC.
