Please see the password change options in Change or reset the password of a macOS user account - Apple Support


I'm guessing your MacBook Pro is probably the new Apple Silicon chipset, so you might also need to read How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support for the hot key options to get into Recovery console mode. The old Ctrl+R has been replaced by holding the power button during startup.
