No customers are listed on any volumes, when resetting password, in web restoration mode. Macbook has damaged keyboard topcase with caught modifier keys

My password will not work. I’m dyslexic. I’ve a Macbook Retina 12″. It has a damaged ‘high case’ which suggests completely different mixtures of modifier keys are commonly enabled, namley the shift key. I’ve adopted workarounds and software program utilities to make use of it for the previous few years. (i.e. I normally maintain down the Choice key to bypass secure mode login at startup)

Filevault isn’t enabled. I’ve double checked this utilizing diskutil apfs record

Presently my login password isn’t recognised. This can be due to capitalisation, however I’ve tried exterior keyboards and many messing round, and have determined to reset the password after weeks of attempting issues.

I can boot into web restoration mode solely. (native restoration mode is inaccessible to me due to keys caught on)

In web restoration mode, in Terminal, I run RESETPASSWORD (caps appears to be accepted in terminal) and the password reset instrument opens.
I can see 7 (seven) volumes, and once I choose all/any of them, and press ‘subsequent’ the message: ‘There aren’t any customers on this quantity to reset password for’ is displayed.

Any assist appriciated with subsequent steps!

I’m unable to run disk restore additionally.

The volumes are:
VM,
Preboot,
transfere (spelled incorrectly),
Restoration,
Replace,
Replace,
