Bought a desktop computer for my son. He added a password but has forgotten it and we can’t access the computer. Is there any way to get it back or be able to change it so he can use it? It’s become a very expensive paperweight.

It might also continue-on to another linked support article.
How do I recover/change password of my Mac Pro?
