That means you have lost your account. This may help: OS X Mavericks- Restore a deleted user. The following is a bit old so I'm not sure it still works:

mount -uw /

Hi! I've go to the same problem here! I upgraded my MacBook yesterday and it took like all day, so when the afternoon came along, the process finished, I was turning on my laptop when it did ask me for my password, I pressed enter and then, there was a blurry screen with two forms to fill in "username " and " password " and there was no picture on it " it seemed like a guest session but I cannot login either ! I panicked and stressed out because I have important files in my MacBook and I don't know what else to do. I tried command plus R and it didn't work out. It doesn't seem to read my password or name, funny because I remember it

I have tried to reset the password.
It says enter password to unlock volume Macintosh HD
I enter the password and it goes to the next page
Reset password failed
There are no users on this volume to reset password for.
What now?
I don't mean to sound ridiculous, but I did not forget my password. Do I have to reset it in order to access High Sierra? This seems strange.
