There’s a thread for this already. Restart in safe mode or type the first letter of user name - enter and then full password enter. And it should start.
I just had this issue yesterday and the above didn't work. Even in recovery mode..I couldn’t find a disk.
so, I pulled everything connected to my Mac Studio out and the log-in screen came up.
Found the issue to be my external Time Machine. Somehow the disk had failed and prevents the Mac starting up.
Just though I’d put this out there.
Hope you got your issue sorted.
