forgot my macbook air login password

six month ago I bought a new macbook air. i choose a password and used as well the finger print identification by the power button. I did not write down the password, so, i forgot it. after a while i turned it off. when i turned on, the finger print on the power button was not enough, it asked me for password as well. I tried all the passwords i usually use.it did not work.


please I need to be able to use my new macbook. thank you.

See the following Apple Support article for information on a forgotten Mac login password: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860


Also note that it is normal that the password is required rather than the fingerprint every time the Mac is powered on.
