MACOS HIGH SIERRA LATEST UPDATE , MacBook Pro 15 , 2017
PLEASE HELP.
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)
Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, check to make sure all areas where caps can be set are normal and see if the problem still exists. Does it? Reboot normally and check again.

BECAUSE OF THE PASSWORD PROBLEM THAT IM GOING TO FACE
What password problem? Do you mean you don't remember the login password to your own user account? It is possible to fix that.
Change or reset the password of a macOS user account - Apple Support
You might try a couple of things:
First, have you checked to make sure that your CAPS LOCK key is turned on in your Keyboard Preferences?
Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys. Make sure next to Caps Lock, it says Caps Lock and not "No Action".
Have you tried an external USB keyboard? Plug that in, and try the caps lock...
You can also try remapping the caps lock key in that same preference pane - change it to something like the left 'command' key.
Failing that, the next steps might involve shutting down the computer: You'll have to try a reset of the SMC:
I REMEMBER THAT I PRESSED SHIFT MAYBE BY MISTAKE A NUMBER OF TIMES OR SHIFT WITH ANOTHER KEY MAYBE COMMAND , COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF THAT AND WILL THE NVRAM WILL HELP ? BECAUSE I WANT TO TRY A SMART AND A VERY GOOD SUGGESTION BECAUSE OF THE LOGIN PROBLEM IM GOING TO FACE IN CASE AND THAT WILL NOT SOLVE
FWIW, the normal method to fix your problem is to reset NVRAM
If you’re not willing to restart your computer then there’s not much we can do to help. Sorry. Have you tried using an external keyboard via the USB port?
Just in case check your settings in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys.
I think he means passwords are case sensitive and if caps is on he won't be able to log in.
How did you type "MacBook Pro 15 , 2017 "?
Ah. That would certainly be a problem if the caps somehow remained locked even through a restart (unlikely).

Have you tried a different keyboard?

A very astute question. 😎
I wondered that for a moment, too. I would guess that part was copy/pasted in.
Or, he found the caps lock key. 😝
Could be.
OR AUTO CORRECTION IN TOUCH BAR 😉
