You will need to reset the password. Use the link below. This time write it down and save it somewhere secure for future reference.

Why is my MacBook Air not recognizing my updated password? My Mac doesn't recognize my password. I've already changed it twice. Every other apple device I have recognizes my current password, except my Mac. So, I can't update MacOs so far. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
