Macbook Air password not working

Bought my daughter an open box Macbook Air. We set everything up, including the touch ID. IOt is asking for her password for the laptop and the only password she ever uses is not working. Honestly, I cannot recall if we made a password while setting it up. She is college and freaking out :-) Thanks in advance for any advice on how to retrieve the password.

This Apple Support article details what you'll need to do. Be aware, though, that you'll need to know your AppleID/password:


Forgot Mac Login Password


Hope this helps.
