Try to type in the password and boot from the command + r option at start up sound. You will be in disk utility. Command + f5 to start voice over of course. Then vo-m, down arrow to start up disk, enter. Start up disk is now behind the disk utility window. Hit vo-command + home and close disk utility. Now in start up disk, enter the password for the disk. If the software say it can’t connect or enter the password error, choose to start up from the disk anyway. Maybe it works, maybe not. Worth a try a few times.
