It might be because you filesystem is mounted with read-write permissions(are you in Recovery mode?).

To mount your filesystem in read-write mode, in the terminal type:

sudo mount -o rw,remount /

and then change your password using passwd <username>.

Have you tried:

Going to System Settings>User Account

  • Under Login Options:
  • Clicking where it shows bullets next to password
  • Follow the directions in the new window
