You need to clarify what you want. You ask how to change password and if you did something wrong. It's confusing.

If you know your root's password, boot up your Ubuntu and whenever you are asked to log in, press ctrl+alt+f1 and then, log in with your root credentials. You will be asked to log in with a username, type root, and then, type the password.
Once you do that, just type passwd *your username* and you will be asked to write your new password for that user.
Hope it helps!
