Failed to start systemd-cryptsetup. What to do?

Hi, I installed a Linux distro for the very first time on my new pc. In the installation the installation manager asked if i wanted to encrypt my drive and i said yes and chose a password. After the installation was completed the system rebooted. But now i'm stuck. Bazzite wants my to enter my password two times and about 3-4 min in of loading it goes into emergency mode. Whatever that means... I can't do a new installation either because my drive is now encrypted. What can i do? Help is much appreciated! Thank you!

Shutdown pc with power button. Power it on again and enter correct password. If you don't know password you can reinstall bazzite. Encrypted drive doesn't prevent formatting drive and reinstallation Also did you enter password with your local keyboard layout? Because it could be that when you are entering password it could default to english us keyboard layout
