Locked Out of Hard Drive O just updated my OS to Mojave on my MacBook. Now I show 2 Macintosh HD's. When I tried to delete the second drive it's telling me to enter a password for an account I no longer have. The message says on start up " The disk "Macintosh HD" can't be unlocked. How do I resolve this problem? Thank you.

Enter a password to unlock the disk “Macintosh HD - Data”. I recently reset my MacBook Pro & reinstalled OS & each time I login I’m met with this pop up and can’t remember the password. How can I fix this issue please?

Cannot unlock "Macintosh HD - Data" disk Edit: I actually deleted my hard drive and preformed a clean install of MacOS Big Sur when the MacBook repaired. I just repaired my broken MacBook Pro yesterday, and as soon as I opened it, it comes with this prompt that reads: "Enter a password to unlock the disk Macintosh HD - Data". I tried entering my user login password and my iCloud (Apple ID) password. But none worked. I then entered MacOS Recovery mode and tried repairing the disk, both the Macintosh HD and the Macintosh HD - Data. I also have 3 Macintosh HD - Data disks for some odd reason. After I repaired Macintosh HD, I clicked on Macintosh HD - Data, and repaired it. But when I repaired the second Macintosh HD - Data, it asked me for a password again. I just cancelled and the reparation cancelled. So, I exited MacOS Recovery and the same prompt came. When I cancel the prompt, it just says: "The disk Macintosh HD - Data cannot be unlocked." Please help.
