My Metamask won't accept my password and I know it is correct.  I have the seed phrase and the password I created to sign up for the metamask.  If I reset my wallet, is there a chance I would lose my coins? I can't have that.  Also, is the "password" different than the seed phrase,,, becaue it accepted this password before.. I didn't change it.
Before I could just reload the phone and it would ask for the face id and I would be good to go.... please advise if you know what to do or have been through this before.
thank you

It is safe until you know what you are doing.

At first, create a backup of your Metamask seeds and keep that in a safe place, if you go on without your seeds and failed to provide that recovery phrase during resetting you will get locked your account.

One more thing, make sure that if you have any exigent imported address or not. no matter you imported via seeds or private keys, Metamask won't store any manually imported data for you. When you resetting your pass, they just recover only the addresses that belong to your Metamask seeds. After resetting, you have to import your previously imported address again, manually. So before inception make sure that you have a backup of the necessary things then go on.
you basically still have the original phrase, and I think you're one step away. on the other hand if we reset and still have the original phrase it will not lose the assets you have. try to sit for a moment and contemplate, sometimes we are not careful, for example we are missing one digit in copying
