I apologize for the confusion. To reset a forgotten password for a local Windows 11 account, you'll need a password reset disk. If you have one, follow these steps:

1. At the Windows login screen, enter a wrong password and click OK.
2. Click 'Reset password'.
3. Insert your password reset disk and follow the instructions.

If you don't have a password reset disk, you might need to use third-party software or reinstall Windows. Please remember, it's always important to keep a backup of your data.
