Can not login on OSX

I can not login in my OSX as the system is rejecting my user password.

When I reboot the machine in recovery mode (by holding the power button for 10+ sec) I can select my user and correctly login with my password within the recovery environment (so I am 100% sure it is correct).


The input keyboard lang is correctly set when I am typing the password.


I do not understand why the password works in the recovery mode but not during normal login.

I am also not offered the "?" during input to change the password (even though my device was connected to my Apple ID account under Devices list)


I have run a disk health check from the recovery interface and everything is fine.

I have no time machine backup nor recovery key.


My disk was about to run out of space. I am not sure if this might have caused some issues but I would be surprised
