Are you stuck at the login screen? If so, refer tot the following...

A. Disable Caps Lock:

Is caps lock enabled? If so, disable it.


B. 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.
