Issue with logging into WordPress Dashboard after moving files to Sub Directory

Hi .. I had installed WordPress into the root folder.
Now I want to install word press in a subfolder .. let us say /rd
But I do not want URL to change to subfolder. That is I would like to use the previous URl ( https://rynekdigital.com) to be used .

So I have tried the below section from the worpress support link :

I have tried the Method I (Without URL change)

https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory/#method-i-without-url-change

SO I have moved ALL Files (
including hidden files such as .htaccess) into the subdirectory (/rd)

Next I have created a new .htaccess file in the parent directory ( public.html)
This .htaccess file in parent directory reads as below:
———————–

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/rd/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /rd/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?rynekdigital.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ rd/index.php [L] 

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php74” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php74 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

The site is UP.
But now the issue is I cannot login to the WP Admin Dashboard.
(Is this because I have 2 htaccess file ? Have tried renaming the old .htaccess file under the subdirectory now into something else; but it didn’t help )

I am trying to login at:
https://rynekdigital.com/wp-admin

which does an automatic redirect to :
https://rynekdigital.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Frynekdigital.com%2Frd%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

I am getting the login screen but my password is no more recognized. Strangely I am NOT getting a wrong password prompt either ( This error prompt screen I am getting if I use an unrelated or totally wrong password).

Thus it means my passsword is right, but it does not log in.

Can some please help.
Thanks in advance.
