Mac Password Incorrect When Typed in Correct Ones

Hi, I have a problem with my Mac Studio(1st generation 48 core, 64Gb RAM).

I have been using my Mac to do some programming with the NLP(natural language processing) models such as Alpaca and Llama(from GitHub). I found the Mac a bit slow so I decided to reboot the computer. After I rebooted the computer, I suddenly found the Mac cannot be entered when I have inserted the correct password during login. I have also tried the recovery login mode and the recovery saids my password is correct. But I just still cannot login into my Mac in normal mode.


*I cannot login the Mac so I cannot use EtreCheck*


Does this happen when Mac is being attacked by Malware and what should I do next?

this prevents you from using your Apple ID to reset your password
