(plz help) sold stocks without pre-clearance as a new FT in IBD, how should i explain

Does anyone have any insights/ experiences in selling stocks for the purpose of clearing the account (or by accident) when starting the job and the compliance has reached out? 

How did you explain? What would you suggest in explaining. Your insights will be much appreciated!!!

FYI works in BB (if it helps)
