Perhaps the MacBook Air Essentials, Table of Contents version, may have

some information in a form useful to your situation. Because that's an M1

not 'Intel.' ~ Details seem sketchy to most traditional portable Mac users.


One of these items tells how; each in slightly different way:

• Reset your Mac login password - Apple Support

If you can't reset your Mac login password - Apple Support

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

..startup from macOS Recovery..

Apple silicon: Turn on your Mac and continue to 'press and hold' the

power button, until you see the Startup options window. Select the

gear icon labeled Options, then click Continue. [See this article.]


• If you forgot your Mac login password - Apple Support

[Important: If you’ve forgotten or need to reset your Apple ID, or password, see the Apple

Support articles: If you forgot your Apple ID - or - If you forgot your Apple ID password.]


If you need more help, visit the MacBook Air Support website. This is also very good.
