the credentials screen was unable to cancel or accept my password (its buttons weren’t functioning).

I had to do a hard reset and restart the upgrade

You’ll find REISUB/REISUO is generally safer:

[HowTo] reboot / turn off your frozen computer: REISUB/REISUO

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ This tutorial was created because people are using a hard power off during freezes, so this will teach you how to turn off your computer when everything is frozen using softer means. So whenever you see someone saying they had to “Power Off” or “Hard Reset” their system without doing a REISUB, please send them here!
