If you encrypted your Mac’s boot disk with FileVault 2 —

this prevents you from using your Apple ID to reset your password

(since the password is used in FileVault’s encryption). Read this Apple support document for more information about FileVault. see "Turn Off FileVault" Button Grayed Out --… - Apple Community

If you have logged into your iCloud acount on your Macbook then it may give you the option to reset the password from there. But if it dose not then there is another way.

1. Shut down you MacBook by holding down on the power buttion (this will be the thumbprint buttion on your keyboard).
2. Turn on your MacBook, and press the "COMMAND" + "R" keys, untill you see a spining globe, or start up screen.
3. Once you are inside of recovery mode open utilitys in the menu bar and select terminal.
4. Once inside the terminal type “resetpassword” then press the "ENTER" key.
5. You MacBook should then put you through the steps to reset your password.
