Changing Admin Password:

If this is an Administrator account, then that would be the password to use for this account, and you'd use it until chosen elsewise. So, make note of it.


One Method...

Reset your Mac Login Password:

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. Make sue that caps lock is not enabled when typing it.
