Change or reset the password of a macOS user account - Apple Support
If you can't do any of these, then I'd suggest making a new administrator account. This will not delete any of the existing users. It's a little tricky to do, but just follow the steps.
Start your Mac up in Single User Mode. To do that, hold in Command+S as you turn ut on. Then write in the following:
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
Please note that Single User Mode is using an American keyboard layout which might not match the layout on your built-in keyboard.
Then start up your Mac again and you'll be met with the Setup Assistant. You'll follow this to create a administrator account.
Then go to the site I linked to and follow the lines where it says Reset using another admin account.
I hope this helps!
