Password not working for wheel user

After installing Bazzite, the password I selected does not work, only works in sddm. My user is in the wheel group, but I can't use sudo or change password, I'm just getting authentication failure. The password that I selected during the install only works when logging in with sddm. Is it supposed to be this way? If not, how can I fix it?

Would chroot into the system and change the password be an ok solution?
Solution
use emergency mode to change the password without messing up your system
