Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked on parrotOS

My parrotOS won’t boot, I didn’t change anything major on my system before this issue happened. I had nno issues restarting the system previously. I’m on parrotOS 5.2. My fstab looks fine and I did not edit it before this issue happened. Now when I start the computer I get an error in emergency mode: >

Pushing any key just repeats the message, the same thing happens in recovery mode. I have tried editing fstab(taking out swap and non essential drives) and editing the rescue.service file to try and boot sulogin —force,) but that didn’t work. I’ve also run fsck that returned 0(no errors). This is what I tried in the rescue.service ExecStart=-/bin/sh -c "/sbin/sulogin --force; /bin/systemctl --job-mode=fail --no-block default" I think this is related to a Debian bug - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802211 I found the following documentation but don’t really know what to do with it, how do I set the environment variable $SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE=1  ? > systemd-sulogin-shell: > * $SYSTEMD_SULOGIN_FORCE=1 — This skips asking for the root password if the root password is not available (such as when the root account > is locked).
