Forgot password without recovery partition
I have a MacBook from Mid-2009 and I had set it to auto sign me in but I forgot the password so I can’t install anything. There is no recovery partition so I don’t know what to do.

Hi tEMlikeMacandiPhone,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with your forgotten user account password.
Have a look at this page: Change or reset the password of a macOS user account and scroll to "Reset your password".
If you're still having problems resetting the password, contact Apple Support.
Have a fantastic day!

Using Single User Mode I was able to do the job
I asked Apple support and they said to make a community post
