Restart the computer and re-enter your password. You can always shut it down by using the power button. If you forgot the pw then please follow the steps in If you forgot your Mac login password

I am locked out of my Mac Desktop Computer I am locked out of my Mac Desktop. The screen is not the normal screen. It just has a picture of a leaf, my name and enter password. My password is not working. The only other thing on my screen is "cancel" which brings me right back to the same screen.
