You are not giving much to go on. Your feed back needs to be more detailed. What's the error?
What's the user you are login as when you get the error? Are you booting from the LiveCD?
Did you follow the instructions step by step? I took the time to put clear instructions I know that works, with minimum requirements to understand.
Were you able to identify the CORRECT partition? I suspect /dev/sda6 is NOT.
Were you able to identify the user you want to reset the password for?
Which user is that?

A question I should had asked before:
When you did login originally as a guest user, did you see the screen with an option to choose another user? What's the reason you were logging in as a guest? What's the other option user that it shows at the UI login screen?
