Restart the Mac hard (usually: hold the power button for ~10 seconds), and see if it figures out you've changed your Apple ID password.


If the Apple ID reset sequence then still fails, then you're here: If you can't reset your Mac login password


There's a less-than-supported path involving the .AppleSetupDone file:

...but if you do follow that path, I'd get a backup or two and then wipe and reload from the backup.


With a forgotten or otherwise unavailable password, your keychain will also be inaccessible.
