Start by getting yourself a wired USB keyboard and mouse set to use in a time like this. Very often a Bluetooth connection can't/won't be made quickly enough to trigger alternate startup modes.


Then this: If you forgot you Mac login password - Apple Support 

And possibly this: If you can’t reset you Mac login password - Apple Support
