Is your Email visible at the top of that Window?
If it is, you are using a Microsoft account login.

I'm using Windows 11.
There's no option anymore to change my password, which is extremely problematic.
The option is not available with Ctrl+Alt+Del.
I tried many ways, but nothing seems to work. I tried to execute the following command: lusrmgr.msc and ticked the case "ask to change password."
It didn't ask when I tried to log in after a restart.

Thank you for your answer.
I don't know if I'm using a local or a MS account.
How could I verify it ?Also, I already tried to change the password the way you suggest, and it appears that the option is not even available too.

Do you log into Windows with a Microsoft account or a Local account?

If you log into Windows with a Microsoft account, then you need to change your password on your Microsoft account online, using the steps on this link:

If you log into Windows with a Local account.
Open the old Control Panel, and at the top set View to large icons.
Open the User Accounts applet and you can change your password from there.
