Your Mac user account is your login user name to your MacBook Air.

See the following Apple articles:

If you forgot your Mac login password -> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860

 

Change the login password on Mac -> https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp1550/mac

If you can't reset your Mac login password -> https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212190

 

BTW:

You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID & Password.

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

What happens when you use the same Apple ID & Password that you use to sign in here?
