Server PC locked out and can't log in.

Unsolved

I'm not sure if this subreddit is where this post belongs but I had something strange happen last night and I'm not sure how to handle this. I have a PC that I have been running a private palworld server on and I've run into an issue. My Internet randomly dropped out yesterday night out of no where while me and some friends were playing on the server but it didn't drop out all the way, I got kicked out of the discord call, couldn't open new tabs in my browser and couldn't do anything else network related on any other device but my PC stayed connected to the palworld server the entire time. I decided to reset my router (my friends were able to stay connected up until this point) and after that was finished and came back online I tried to remote connect to the server PC from my personal PC to check on it and couldn't connect. Remote connect kept giving me an error saying that the log in had been attempted too many times and that the PC was refusing the connection. I then went to the PC and tried to physically log in and received the same message. I haven't tried to log into the server PC since hoping that it's some kind of fluke given windows 11's proficiency at being terrible however I'm more worried that running a public server put the server PC or even my network at risk. As far as I can tell I'm permanently locked out of the PC which is infuriating.
