I cannot Log In to my MAC - Sonoma Log In Issue

Few weeks ago I updated to Sonoma and everything seemed to be running smooth until today.

I tried to Log in to my Mac Studio and the Computer seems to be changed...

First I notice a background Wallpaper on the Log In surface which has not been there before.

Another chance is that I am asked to type in my User AND Password which is new.

I have only one Admin User on this mac and usually I type in my password and that´s it.

3rd difference is that the speed of my mouse seem to be slow as if reset to default, it responds very slow.

The most frustrating chance is that I can´t log in to may computer with my usual Password and Username.

I´ve tried different Keyboards, I´ve tried to change my password with Terminal, I´ve tried all I possibly could even my Recovery Key and Apple ID...

nada, niente, nitch, nothing, no success, I cant access my own Computer.

What a frustrating day of work, somebody has an advice?
