Hey , thank you for your help.
I have an old Macbook Air (2012) from my childhood. But i dont remember the passwords of MacOS or Bootcamp. I tried the recovery but it couldn’t download the software for resetup because there isn’t enough space. But i also can not delete the Bootcamp to have more space because i don’t remember the passwort. Can someone help me? Is it still possible to use that computer again?

You will have to use the original system disks which came with the machine or create a bootable USB flash drive Mac OS installer and boot from it.
