It's unclear exactly which "password" you have reset.


The "Related Article" that you see above your original post and - probably viewed before posting - has the guidance for changing your Apple ID password. This is the password for your iCloud account, and usually also your App Store account and your AppleTV, Music and other Apple accounts. This will NOT be the password you normally use to login to your Mac computer each time you restart it.


If you are trying to change the user login password for your Mac computer user account, please follow the guidance found in this document:

Maybe there is another different password that you're referring to?

If I am misunderstanding the problem you have, please elaborate so we can help you best.
