The FS is not encrypted. So just plug the SD card into another computer and edit the password file to replace the encrypted password with a null string.

Or just boot into rescue mode ( e when it asks which kernel you want to boot with, and append init=/bin/bash ; on newer OSes there's a special systemd rescue mode but no idea if it's present on Raspbian).
