Forgot MacBook Pro password

Hi, so I normally just use the Touch ID to login but today it’s asking for my password and I have no idea what it is. I have already tried holding command + r but that isn’t working. This MacBook is linked to my Apple ID. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

See the following instructions: Change or reset the password of a macOS user account - Apple Support


Also note that it is normal to periodically need to enter the password (including after every restart) even when using Touch ID.
