Hi Zulu_tango,
As your post suggests 2 possible situations, here are processes for each:
If you forgot an Apple ID password, which is used to access iCloud, the App Store and other services, the article If you forgot your Apple ID password, that you came to us from, covers a number of options. It may be necessary to verify information associated with the account such as security questions or account recovery per How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password to regain access to that account.
If your concern is regarding a Mac login password, If you forgot your Mac login password for macOS Catalina and later or Change or reset the password of a macOS user account in macOS Mojave or earlier for earlier versions show how to regain access. Some steps require the use of the Apple ID account configured for the user.
Regards.
