Can't decrypt the wallet

Going back 4 years (2017), I bought bitcoin and saved it to my bitcoin core wallet on a separate laptop and completely forgot about it. Let's go back to now, I don't remember that I made a password in the first place, but when I run the wallet it asks me for the password. I tried leaving the field blank and trying to fill it with spaces and it didn't work for me either, and I'm sure I didn't put any password, so no one has used the device since I left it. While it's strange to me, is there a way to bypass the password? Could it be a mistake or bug? Should the software be updated and how?
