It is easier to reset the password.
- Restart in Recovery Partition (this assumes you are using an Intel iMac) by holding down Command + R on startup. If you own a M1 based iMac shut down the Mac, and hold down power button until "Loading startup options" appear and follow the prompts
- Open Terminal app, hint please look in the menus
- In Terminal type resetpassword and follow on-screen prompts.
