Imac 2011 log in

I resetted an old imac 2011, this worked ok. I put on a clean sierra and login acount, but now the same day I forgot my new login password, there is no apple id account yet on it also. The ctrl en cmd etc. restarts dont work when hold the typ.

Is there a way to get in the Os or totally reset the imac again so i can instal it new again?

Cant log in as user, & forgot iMac password. So a few years ago, I must have deleted a file that kept asking me for passwords on my iMac, I figured I didn't need it since I am the only user. This week I did an OS update, and it asked my my computer password, not my Apple ID. I typed it in, and it did not work. I did the "command" R startup to utilities, and then terminal to reset the password, but on the square box where the list of users would be, there are no names, it is totally blank. I can't seem to find any other way to do this. I reinstalled Catalina OS and it did it fine, but still the same problem. My iMac is from late 2012, and it runs from an external SSD. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I can't reset my iMac login password in one of two accounts. Please let me know how to reset it. Thanks. I can't login my iMac. My iMac has created 2 accounts - one is old and the other is updated. The password for both are same. Now, the updated account can't be logged in. I have tried many times (over 3 times). How can I reset my password to login. Thanks

I have forgotten the password to open my IMac. When I attempt to reset it, It does not recognize my username or my password. What do I need to do?
