Opening Refurbished 2017 MacBook Air

Apple Store Genius Bar helped me transfer data from older MacBook Pro to my refurbished 2017 MacBook Air. When I tried to open the MacBook Air it wants an Apple password that I don’t know. How do I get it to recognize me?

Here is an Apple article for resetting the macOS user account password:
