It explains that if your drive is encrypted with Filevault2, you have three options to access the files on the disk:
If you can't succeed with one of these three, you won't be able to unlock and access your disk.

Using an External Keyboard...
I see you are using a a MacBook Pro. So, perform the following, using an external keyboard.
Reset the SMC and then NVRAM. Sometimes when changes are made to the system(updates), system configurations (i.e. for Ports) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. It might take up to 3 attempts to reset each. So, be certain you have the time to so.
That would have been configured back when you first set up your Mac. Many people use their login password as the password for the encryption. Have you tried that password also?
Yes, I tried my login password which matches the password hint but it’s rejecting it.
