Remove your SD card and format using PC with FAT-32 type.

Backup first. If you have a custom recovery flash, no-verity-encrypt file using TWRP, when you have a stock recovery, wipe user data.
My phone is stuck in boot loop !! what should I do? Help!

You should flash the Forced encryption disabler before the first boot. Boot into Recovery mode and flash the file.
