There are no users on this volume to recover

I have a new Mac Book Pro M1 Pro.

I am running Ventura 13.0

I can't boot in Recovery Mode as I always get the following message:

"there are no users on this volume to recover"

I read a reply from last year where a user was having the same issue. He was advised to create a temporary user. I tried that without success. still no user recognized.

I need to be able change the security settings to allow extensions from indentified users and I am stuck here.

MacBook Pro Apple Silicon

I did the Ventura 13.1 update. Shut down and let it sit for @ a minute. Restarted holding the the start button. Selected the Utilities. This time my user came up. I was able to change to the reduced security. Restarted my computer. added the extension I needed. Had to allow the extension in my security settings. Required another restart. Opened my application (Pro Tools - w/ HD Hardware extension) and it recognized my hardware. Everything is working great!

Thank you for your help!
