You need a Linux USB Stick, for example you can buy one or you can flash an USB with Balena Etcher (on Linux) or Rufus (on Windows). To do this, you need another computer and an USB Stick. Then, you can boot linux from this USB. Now you can download a passwd and shadow for linux from the web, store it to /etc, boot linux again (withour the USB) and login with the new credentials. Then you can change your password.
