Hi Sam_the_human1600 :-)

Welcome to the Apple Community.


If you associated your user account with your Apple ID,

you may be able to use your Apple ID to reset your login password.


See the Apple Support article (link) below:


Reset your Mac login password: 

(NB: OK for Monterey, or choose your Mac OS at the top)

https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mh35902/mac


Or, if needed:

If you can't reset your Mac login password

https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT212190


Or

There is a

"get Support" link to Apple at top right on this discussion page.


All the best :-)
