You don't need passwords to do a full erase. Shut down the MacBook Pro first. Then press the power button and immediately hold down the keys Command + R until a progress bar appears which will take you to the recovery screen. From there you can choose Disk Utility from the options list and fully erase the drive. Once erase you may return back to the options menu and choose Resintall MacOS. Whichever OS is on the server for that MacBook Pro will be reinstalled.
