Re: why cant i login into my macbook after it shut down
Wondering why your Mac shutdown:
Eg: how were you using your Mac just before it shut down ... was there an error message that may help troubleshoot? .
or
Apple support have an online article about shut-downs (link below) that may help"
If your Mac restarted because of a problem - Apple Support

Wondering why you are unable to log-in to your Mac...
Am I right in assuming that you see the log-in screen ok after the shutdown ... and can enter your password ... ok
It is just that your Mac is not accepting the log-in password that has always worked ?
You could try starting up in Safe mode:

Or
You might want to try to reset your Mac Log-in Password:
If you forgot the password to log in to your Mac user account

If you can't reset your Mac login password:

All the best :-)
