How do I remove the "Owner Password" message from my MacBook screen?x

How to remove "Without the owner password, you do not have permission to insert, delete, or rotate pages of the document." off my MacBook screen? I can't cancel it or anything. I can't even shut my computer down.

I can't open Recovery mode to disable SIP - Apple Community


The " Owner Account of this computer " has that privilege to add, remove, upgrade or downgrade accounts. This would include adding more Admin Accounts and / or downgrading an ADDED Admin account


Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac



Normally the " Owner Account " is the very first Account used when the Computer was Very First Setup as New and out of the box.


Adding additional Admin Account can be done there after.
