Rock64 stuck in boot, please help!

Hi.
Tonight my Rock64 was unexpectedly shut down (UPS ran out of battery) and after that it doesn't seem to boot and I don't know how to get in to it. It answers on SSH port, but when trying to log in I get:

Code:
"System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet. Please come back later. For technical details, see pam_nologin(8)."
Connection closed by 192.168.168.8

So it's obviously stuck somewhere in the boot process, but I don't know where and why. Anyone can think of any other way to access it? It's booted from eMMC and unfortunately I have got no other way to read eMMC.

It's running Debian Buster, if it's of any help.

edit: Ok, you might call me stupid, but I just realized that I've got a hdmi port that I've never used. Plugged in my tv and a keyboard and thought I'd find the solution. Still stuck though. I can see the kernel booting and the network getting up, but then nothing more happens. No errors, no nothing. I can switch TTY with the keyboard (ctrl+alt+F2 etc) but that's about it (the other tty's are black). Wtf?
