I reset both of my accounts passwords but only one will let me log in. So I logged in as that account since it has admin privs, I changed the password on the other account (My main one which I really need) and then tried again. I have tried this several times with different passwords but no luck. The home file system for this user looks okay. What should I do? If I delete the user, will I lose the files under home?

You can boot a live ISO and open a terminal :

chroot /path/of/your/root/filesystem
passwd

and then change the root password
