I have a macbook air. It worked perfect, start to the login screen, give pasword and done.

now for some reason it goes to a screen i have never seen before, asks for a username and pasword but i have no idea what and how. How can i go back to the normal account screen? It doesnt give an option to switch accounts, no menu…

Put in your user name (most likely this is the name of your home folder) and then your password. After that the Mac should log in without any problems
