You'll need to factory reset in recovery, if you know your Google credentials you be able to do this if not you won't.

Welcome to Android Central! Are you saying the phone doesn't power off if you press and hold Power and Vol Down for about 30 seconds? You don't have to press Vol Up if you're just trying to force a shutdown.

Once you've forced a shutdown, follow the steps here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s20-sd865/
