Mac Password Incorrect When Typed in Correct Ones

Hi, I have a problem with my Mac Studio(1st generation 48 core, 64Gb RAM).

I have been using my Mac to do some programming with the NLP(natural language processing) models such as Alpaca and Llama(from GitHub). I found the Mac a bit slow so I decided to reboot the computer. After I rebooted the computer, I suddenly found the Mac cannot be entered when I have inserted the correct password during login. I have also tried the recovery login mode and the recovery saids my password is correct. But I just still cannot login into my Mac in normal mode.


*I cannot login the Mac so I cannot use EtreCheck*


Does this happen when Mac is being attacked by Malware and what should I do next?

If you encrypted your Mac’s boot disk with FileVault 2 —

this prevents you from using your Apple ID to reset your password

(since the password is used in FileVault’s encryption). Read this Apple support document for more information about FileVault. see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250256208
