My newly changed apple password is not working on my MacBook to help me change my password to log on?

I just need help changing my password on my MacBook to log in. But my log in password and newly changed apple password are not working. Can I reset it or change the password another way or get a list of past password to try if those might be what the Mac thinks is my password still?

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.3

Apples231,

is your user account a standard account or an administrative account? Do you have an administrative account that is not the account for which you seek to change the password?

You can reset it.

For Snow Leopard and previous.
