MacBook Air password reset without Wi-Fi

Hi I have a 2020 MacBook Air that I have forgotten the password on. I can’t change it via Apple ID either as I can’t connect it to the internet.

any ideas on how to either join a Wi-Fi or reset the login password without Wi-Fi??

thanks

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

You change your local login password via System Preferences > User & Groups > Change Password.


Unfortunately, if you've forgotten your password, this is what you do: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860


Maybe an Ethernet connection direct to your modem?
