Hi! You may need to enter to your Mac's recovery mode to reset your password.


Here, follow the steps:

  1. Be sure that your Mac is turned off.
  2. Hold cmd + R and press the power button
  3. Click on Disk Utility then press "Continue"
  4. Go to Utilities and then go to Terminal
  5. Type in "resetpassword" (without the quotation marks, of course) and press Return
  6. Select the drive where your account is in. This typically is your normal hard drive in your Mac
  7. Click on your user account
  8. Type in your new password to all the password fields
  9. Click Save
  10. Click on the Apple Logo and shut your Mac down


Hope this helps!
