    MacBook Air M1 reset user password

    So ... MacBook Air M1 A2337, entered in Recovery, connected to net, open Terminal -resetpassword, asked to deactivate Mac, deactivated then I was able to set another password. After restart, it asked to activate Mac by selecting admin user and type password but typing new password it doesn't work.
    I know I can erase Mac and reinstall but client wants to save some files - I know him, is his own laptop brought from shop, he has invoice and all, Apple client service says it can't be done if he didn't save files in iCloud.
    Any help will be much appreciated, thank you!

    LE: he did a stupid thing removing it from cloud - he wants to sell it, that's why he did it - otherwise it should be activated using cloud credentials.
