Windows 10: Startup repair incorrect password

Hi, I have a question regarding startup repair in windows 10. Just this morning I received a notification telling me to restart my computer to fix my drive issues. So I did it and it led me to this startup repair. I chose an account and entered my password to proceed, but it keeps telling me I entered an incorrect one and I need to try again even if the password is correct. My keyboard layout is US. Can you help me fix this issue today? I really need it because I have a lot of worksheets that I need to pass tomorrow. Please I'm scared right now huhu

Startup repair incorrect password

I hadnt used my laptop for a couple weeks. When i started it today my normal 4 digit passcode did not work and then said to contact an administrator. When I restarted it got stuck at “just a moment” so i restarted 3 times until i got recovery options. I
tried system restore and startup repair BUT the problem is it keeps saying I am entering the wrong password. So i signed into my microsoft account on a different device and got in fine but my laptop keeps saying incorrect password. The last time i used the
laptop it performed updates and shut down. What do I do?
