2013 Macbook pro upgrade to mojave fail

I have a 2013 macbook pro that I hardly ever use. Nothing wrong with it. I upgraded to the mojave and now it brings me to the sign in screen for my username has the picture in the background and has a loading bar. The loading bar goes and 3/4 of the way and a black line about an inch wide runs across the top portion of the screen and it gets stuck there? How to I get past this and try and remove the upgrade

To revert to a previous macOS requires a reformating of the parent drive, and restoring form a backup.

To go forward you can try Boot into Recovery (Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the

First Aid on your Macintosh HD. If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.
