Failure to boot - recovery recipes fail too

MacBook Air fails to boot with flashing ? in folder. Powering on produces a chime. Power on + option key invites "Choose Network". Choosing my network next produces a space obviously intended for a password with a padlock symbol beside it and cross and tick buttons below. BUT entering the password produces an endlessly spinning gearwheel.


Any suggestions?
