Problem Resetting Password

I was told I had to reset my Facebook password because the one I entered didn't match their records. I have attempted several times to do this, but have yet to receive a confirmation that I've done so. When I try to log in with the new password, I continue to get the message I need to reset the password. I've already wasted an hour going around in circles trying to do this. What is Facebook's problem?

Sorry you're having problems. You can request a password reset by clicking the "Forgot your password?" link located near the "Login" button on the login page. Facebook will then send you an email with a link to reset your password. (This information is from this Facebook page, which may provide additional guidance.) If you've added a mobile number to your account, you can log in by entering that number in the Email field. Start with the country code and remove any leading zeroes and symbols.

You also may be able to get into your account by answering a security question or getting help from friends. Details are here.
