I am unable to enter the password due to the “try again” message in red on the screen.

In the top right corner I have the keyboard options, battery life and Wi-Fi only.

Your Mac is firmware locked. See this to remove the firmware password

]Start up from macOS Recovery. During the startup process, you'll be prompted to enter the firmware password.
When the utilities window appears, click Utilities in the menu bar, then choose Startup Security Utility or Firmware Password Utility.
Click Turn Off Firmware Password.
Enter the firmware password again when prompted.
Close the utility, then choose Apple menu  > Restart.

if you don't know the password, contact your system admin
