OPLP n00b | Catalina to Ventura problem

Hi there.

I am trying to go from Catalina to Ventura.

I am at the step where i was able to install the Ventura OS + use my Time Machine to add my backed up data.

Problem: I can’t log into my session as it doesn’t recognize my password (which I’m certain is correct)

Above is the screen I have.

I have a mid 2012 Mac book bro 13’ .

I Wanted to upgrade to Ventura for software compatibility issues and now I am stuck.

Can someone help ?
