You have to type your password and then figure out what is going wrong. Any number of things can be messed up. Often if one adds a fstab entry and does it wrong systemd will drop you to emergency mode. Mountpoint mising, path to device wrong. If you did mess with fstab recently then add ",nofail" on the entries that aren't directly related to the OS and that will at least get it up and on the network.
You should read the screen, and use shift-pageup/shift-pagedown to carefully go back and read the boot output and maybe it will tell you. If you have doubt on what your are reading then take photos of it.
