1) Try the usual password reset methods. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212190

2) Say goodby to your data, force restart into recovery mode, erase the drive, and reinstall MacOS.

3) If there is a forgotten firmware password or find-my lock blocking an erase/reinstall take it to an Apple Store along with proof of purchase from an authorized reseller.
