Forgot my password on my new MacBook. I wrote it down but it must not be correct. How do I recover it or can I do it on another device?

A friend set up the laptop for me. I told him the password I created. Not sure why it won’t let me open. Doesn’t recognize what I thought it was.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.5
