Force a restart, and try again: Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support


FWIW, make sure it’s not caps lock or a stuck key, too.


You can use USB-C to Lightning cables to directly connect the keyboard and rodent to the iMac, too.


If not that, then here is what to do to reset the password: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860
