Lost admin password

I want to set up a password for entering my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) but in order to do this, it is asking me to give another password (after clicking on a padlock symbol in 'system preferences/ users and groups') So is this the Admin password? Or? Ive tried the password I thought it might be and its not. So my question is how, do I reset this Admin (or whatever it is) password? Thanks for any advice!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

This is the password of the first account created on your device, or the account you're currently using to login to the mac


If you cannot find the password see this link for further reference
