I have forgotten my admin password on my MacBook Pro and I can't reset it

I have forgotten my admin password on my MacBook Pro and I can't reset it and I don't have a recovery key either so I am stuck on recovery assistant page but nothing works

l can't reset using my Apple password either because I haven't got a choice. Please can someone advise. I've gone through every possible combination of keys whilst pressing the on / off button but nothing seems to work

Here are the older password-reset instructions:


… Change or reset the password of a macOS user account in macOS Mojave or earlier - Apple Support

Per Apple: If you still can't log in with your password, contact Apple Support for help.
