Try trashing the Users and Groups preferences file. Trashing any preference file does no harm, a new one is created automatically created with default settings, which in this case, should be empty fields. You can also try opening the pref file with a text editor--BBEdit works great, or maybe Microsoft Word--and find the actual password in a garble of letters and words, towards the top of the document. Be sure the program you use is set to open any files.
