Stuck backing up after failed OS update

Did you ever do a restart? Logfile shows some containers running for 5 weeks already, is that true?

For the wallet pondering in Step 3, you may want to check out this help-entry:
Wallet is locked. How to unlock it in command line

Credits to @Hakuna that helps writing it.

How to verify: login to the Umbrel dashboard page > settings > Debug log and look out for the LND section. If you find a repetitive entry like the below, your wallet is locked and LND can’t start properly:
RPCS: [/lnrpc.Lightning/GetInfo]: wallet locked, unlock it to enable full RPC access

Part 1)
Login to your node with an SSH client / Power terminal via

ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local

The prompted password is your dashboard password.
Then execute:

cd ~/umbrel && docker-compose exec lnd /bin/bash

Then:

lncli unlock

When prompted, enter the password you have used logging into your Umbrel user interface.
Done. Now open Umbrel dashboard page and login. Verify like above if that was successful.

Part 2)
In case the above doesn’t work and your wallet is still locked, add the following steps

Login to your node with an SSH client / Power terminal via

ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local

Make a backup of your current lnd.conf

cp ~/umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf ~/umbrel/lnd/lnd.bak

Delete your current lnd.conf, re-configure Umbrel and restart the node

rm ~/umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf && ~/umbrel/scripts/configure && sudo reboot

After restart, your LND will take a few minutes to catch up again.
Go into the Umbrel Dashboard > Settings > Debug again and validate the wallet is unlocked this time.

In case of success, carefully add the lines of customization from your lnd.bak and copy those into your lnd.conf. Don’t copy the whole file, as it may contains a wrong configuration which caused your wallet to be locked in the first place.
