Locked out of new macbook

Hi

I opened my new MacBook today, didn't have the chance to add my apple id info and now Im locked out. I tried restarting it and writing the password I chose but it says its incorrect and wont let me reset it. I did use my fingerprint to enter as well but I don't have the option to do so now because using it requires me to insert my correct password first.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

MacBook Pro 16″, 12.1
