thank you. ok. can tell you the story. I was installing the new OS bigsur. but some how it was interrupt during installation. at the end of the installation it looks 30 minutes to finished even it show less then 01 minute. and then it shows " An error occurred preparing the software update" I have tried many times but same result. then i have decided to go recovery mode and reinstall the Os pressing cmd+R. then it ask my admin password, then i put password and it does,t work, but 100% sure it is the correct password. unfortunate I did not used any Apple ID for this Macbook, so i have no option to login using ID. How can I solve this issues?

Thanks in advance
