Mac not booting up after migration - stuck in "enter password unlock disk" loop

Hi,


I migrated from an old mac to new one via the migration assistant. It completed successfully. I ma unable to fully boot up the new mac after that.

During the boot up sequence, it asks for a password to unlock the disk and when I enter my old password, it goes back to booting up. It is stuck in this endless loop.



MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.3

You need to enter the password you used to encrypt the disk on the NEW computer. Nothing else will suffice. That might be the login password you created when your new Mac was first set up.
