Ooh! I can help with this! If you haven't turned on FileVault encryption, you should be able to go into "Single User Mode" by holding down Command+S while the computer is turning on.

You can create a new administrator account by restarting the Setup Assistant:
1. Boot into Single User Mode: Start/restart your Mac. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold ⌘ + S until you see a black screen with white lettering. (If you end up back on the login screen after a flash of the black screen with white lettering, enter your password and it will return to the black screen.)
2. Check and repair the drive by typing /sbin/fsck -fy then ↩ enter - as directed by the on-screen text.
3. Mount the drive as read-write by typing /sbin/mount -uw / then ↩ enter.
4. Remove the Apple Setup Done file by typing rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone then ↩ enter.
5. Reboot by typing reboot then ↩ enter.
6. Complete the setup process, creating a new admin account.


If you have FileVault on, then you might need to use another Apple device to reset your password and then use THAT to reset your password on your MacBook. I hope this helps!
