Password doesn't work even when I reset it.
I have been trying to login to my macbook since last week. But it keeps saying every password is wrong even though, I have just reset my password through the startoptions. Can anyone help me?

Since you've already tried resetting your password, ensure that during the reset process, you are entering the new password correctly and that there are no typing errors. It might help to reset it once more, paying close attention to each step, especially capitalization and numbers.
If resetting passwords still couldn't solve the problem, maybe you can try restarting your MacBook and immediately press and hold Command + R to enter recovery mode and choose Terminal from the Utilities menu. Then, type resetpassword in the Terminal and press enter. This will open the reset password tool. Follow the prompts to choose your user account and set a new password.

Reset the Forgotten Mac Password:
A. Where to Reset it:
Reset it using 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.
B. Troubleshooting the Reset:

C. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM: Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Keyboard) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Note: This pertains to Intel-based Macs.
D. Learn from This:
Important: Keep a handwritten, hardcopy list of your passwords. Store it in a secret location that only you are knowledgeable of, and only you have access to. And, on top of that, don't share you passwords with anyone whomsoever.
