Reset password after losing power during a decade old MacBook Pro (MBP) boot up after entering a password for its internal HDD?

Hello.

Here's a weird one. I don't know if this is by design. I was booting up 
a 2008's 15" MacBook Pro. I already entered its HDD's FileVault password 
to slowly boot up its updated Mac OS X El Capitan v10.11.6. And then, I 
accidently pulled its mag power plug from MBP and the system shut down 
(sleep?) due to lack of power (still using the original battery -- never 
replaced any hardwares on it since it is rarely used).

After replugging its power plug back in and turning it back on, it did 
its usual slow boot up but it never asked me to enter my password to 
access its encrypted HDD. Instead it took me to its password reset 
screen with three prompts. Huh? I never asked for that.

Was that supposed to happen?
