Which password are you trying to reset?


Resetting a User's Password:

Other than through System Preferences, you might be able t change the User Password through the login screen. You'd go through your Apple ID to perform this. Find out more here: If you Forgot your Mac Login Password - Apple Support. Make sure that caps lock is not enabled when typing it.
