Macbook no password but can't login

Hi guys, my MacBook local account doesn't have any password but when I press enter during lock screen it didn't allow and behaves as the wrong password entered.


I already try to entered wrong password for three times in hope it show me the forgot password but it didn't show the option.


What should I do?
