I can’t sign in on my MacBook Pro. It says my password is wrong. But I didn’t change it. How can I get into my laptop?

My MacBook Pro powered off because I let the battery die. Now I can’t sign in using the same password I’ve always used and never had any problem with. Also I can’t use my finger print because it requires my password. Please help. Thanks in advance

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.3
