MacBook Not logging in!!!!

i changed my MacBook login to username and password to see what it is and when I tried logging back in with the correct details it didn’t work. I can’t do anything. I tried booting it up into recovery mode but that doesn’t work, it just boots it up normally into this. This is super annoying and the laptop is super expensive so I don’t want to loose anything on it.

MacBook Pro Apple Silicon

I don't understand what that means—

"i changed my MacBook login to username and password to see what it is"



Did it work before you changed it or no?


Your user name does not change.. at least it is not recommended to change a user name


Did you create a new user?


Do you see you old user under the Apple drop down.. do you get that far..


Do you have a backup?
