I had installed Sequoia with oclp on old macbook pro. but after rebooting, I could not login. I am sure I trying correct pasword. I tried to do the install over and over again. The same problem.

I tried to reset password with recovery option and still could not login with new password. I am using lclp version 2.4.1.
 
So you used OCLP to install an unsupported macOS version over top of an existing supported macOS version install ?? You did not erase the internal storage and clean install unsupported macOS version using OCLP ??

No. Its clean install. Erased internal storage.
 
If you clean install OCLP macOS, you have to go through the initial macOS set up and create an admin account with password. It is this password that does not work?

yes correct. During initial setup of macOS with OCLP, created an account with password and that is what not working. But if I use it recovery option, where it again asks the username/password to show up all the reconvery options, that time the same password working fine. The only issue is when I try to login to macbook normally.
 
Thank you so very much. It worked now.
Do not log into iCloud with your Apple Account. You probably have a Memoji associated with your Apple Account. Memojis and OCLP are not compatible. Change your Apple Account to use a profile picture that isn't a Memoji before attempting to log into your Apple Account.
