Troubleshooting Mac Password:
When did this all begin? Was it after an update? Was it after a software installation?
Troubleshooting Mac Password:
Boot in Safe Mode:
In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support

What happens when you try?
Are you being told the password is incorrect? If so, the most likely explanation is that you are not using the correct password... passwords are case sensitive.
