Phone not excepting (correct) password on restart.
There’s no way around the password prompt with encryption enabled. If you can’t get in, you’ll need to factory reset the device. You can factory reset in recovery mode: Turn off your phone using the Power Button.Once it is completely turned OFF, press and hold Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.Release both the buttons once Huawei Logo is displayed on the screen.Now you’ll be in recovery mode. You can select “Wipe data/factory reset” to completely erase your device.
