I am locked out of my encrypted password, how do I reset it?

[TroiR]

I had to restart my computer and now I am locked out. I have tried every possible password so I am wondering if I can reset so I do not lose all my work.

This is not official.

It's based on Photon OS, so try this: Resetting a Lost Root Password · VMware Photon OS 3.0 Documentation
