That's not a complete paragraph explaining what happened.

Is it that you can't log into your Mac?  What part of your password
reset failed?

If you want people to guess about what you need, just keep
right (right) on doing what you're doing.

Having said all that, I'm curious what the options are, though,
because I don't know how I'd fix this with a Mac.  With Linux,
and with physical access to the computer, I'd boot a USB stick with
Linux, mount the volume, chroot to the mount, and run passwd.
I'm not sure if there's a Mac equivalent to that.
