Repairing my Mac OS Big Sur

My macs been buggy today and it locked me out. i tried to log back in but it kept saying that my password is wrong which i definitely did not change. shut my max down and now it won’t start. The apple logo and bar appears but everytime once it gets to 100% it restarts. I’ve tried fixing the disk in disk utility and repairing the PRAM/NVRAM as well as the SMC. It still refuses to start properly. I’m in single start mode and also tried to type fsck-fy

and the following error appears

Warning: option -f is not implemented, ignoring

error: container /dev/rdisk1 is mounted. repairs in a mounted container is not supported yet

Any ideas of how to proceed without formatting my entire disk?

How to use safe mode on your Mac

Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that you’re having with your Mac.

When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check.

Will the computer startup in Safe Mode or still not loading completely ? If it does load then probably there is some third party software interfering with the Normal Operations of the computer.
