Refer to If you forgot your Mac login password - Apple Support.


Follow all those steps to their ultimate conclusion, including the ones described in if you can’t reset your login password.


Having said that if that Mac has always been yours (in other words, it was not purchased "used" or from someone who had previously configured it) and that screen appeared spontaneously for no apparent reason, and your password no longer works to unlock it, the reason is usually a failure of the Mac's internal storage.

Check to make sure the Caps Lock is not enabled. I've seen some laptops where the Caps Lock LED was off, but macOS thought it was enabled by showing the symbol on the text entry fields (usually on the right side of the field).


Try using an external keyboard just in case the built-in keyboard has developed a problem.


Also, make sure your are using the correct keyboard/language layout as well. Sometimes it may have changed if you utilize multiple layouts.
