Sound’s like you are trying to enter your Apple ID password, (the account for Music, TV, iCloud, and other similar services)when you should be entering your MacBook’s User password. Do you know your computer’s login password, the same one you use to unlock your computer when you open it, or after it restarts? That is the password you should input when you go to update.
