Having issues with installing OrangeFox recovery in Redmi Note 7s #493

I'm new to installing Orangefox recovery and rooting. I have unlocked my bootloader by watching many tutorials and have succeeded. However, when I'm flashing the recovery.img file into my phone through fastboot, it boots into the orange fox recovery, which is fine. The problem I'm facing is that it gives me a prompt that says data partition encrypted. I am not aware of the password which is pretty evident now that the system is creating its password. The other annoying thing is when booting into the system, it gives me a prompt "to start Android, enter your password". I have not created any password nor do I know about any password. It does this automatically. Now I saw that formatting the data partition would solve it when I flash later but it didn't. After formatting, it goes to factory settings, and re-flashing repeats it all. It's as if the device becomes untrusted. I'm new to all of this and my only purpose is to install a custom ROM in my phone. I'm doing this on a Redmi Note 7s. I need help.

I tried everything and was expecting to see my internal storage in Orangefox. I cannot keep on formatting the data partition again and again.
