This is the official kernel parameters documentation.

No, this is turning selinux enforcement off; it runs, but warns instead
of errors out.  If you look in journalctl -b, you should see the
selinux errors that were causing your problem as warnings during boot.

If you use journalctl -r, you can see any other warnings that selinux
is giving now as well, starting from the present, and receding into the
past.

This change shouldn't affect that.  Which password are you talking
about?  After the system has booted and you are at the desktop manager
/ greeter (e.g. gdm)?  Maybe it is a temporary rawhide change effect.
