Above link says


The first thing to try is if somehow your internal storage became encrypted when using a legacy screen lock method. Go to your Android
device’s Settings > Security > Screen Lock, and change your screen
lock method to either Pass or Pin. Create a new one. Reboot into TWRP,
and it should ask for a password – enter the pass or pin you just
created. TWRP will attempt to decrypt your device’s internal storage,
and if it succeeds, you should not have further issues. However, if
this does not solve your issue of “unable to mount data, internal
storage 0mb”, continue with the rest of this guide. Reboot your device
into TWRP again. Navigate to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Data, and choose
Repair or Change File System. Press Repair File System to see if this
fixes the issue. If not, continue. Press Change File System, choose
Ext2, and swipe to confirm. Now switch back to Ext4 and swipe to
confirm. Go back to TWRP main menu, then the Mount menu, and check if
your partitions can be mounted now. If you are still unable to mount
your partitions, you need to repair Internal partition, which will
most likely wipe your internal storage.

As suggested The password pin I put in screen lock is never asked if I boot the two recovery image k. Fast boot mode (fastboot recovery trwrp.img so solution didn't worked
