Use the Login Screen:

There may be a few Admin users.. As an administrator YOUR password, it may be able to be changed, perhaps through use of the Login Screen. Reset it using the login screen. You'd go through your Apple ID to perform this. Find out more here: If you Forgot your Mac Login Password - Apple Support

You should ask the one who set up the password on your Mac.

If you are the one who set it up and you forgot it, follow the steps on this page: If you forgot your Mac login password
