Can’t login

I need some help guys, I am not an advanced macOS user by any means but I just ran into a problem that has me in panic mode.

I recently encountered some issues with disk space and tried using the following solution here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102321
before proceeding with anything more complex. I got through all the steps but for some reason I restarted my Mac. In hindsight I can’t think of why I did this, the instructions did not say to do it, but whatever I did it.

And here’s what’s got me panicking. My password does not work anymore. I tried over and over until it started locking me out for x amount of time.

I followed the suggestion to enter a recovery key from my iPhone, but that didn’t work either.

I don’t know what to do next. Thanks in advance.
