If you forgot your Mac login password - Apple Support describes the steps to follow. Many of them begin with "if" due to the number of password reset options that have been introduced over the years. That's just one of them.
If you arrive at the very end (see what I did there?) If you can't reset your Mac login password describes what to do next. Follow them all the way through to their conclusion.
