After reseting the password the wordpress site went offline with error 502, the nginx log error indicates that
"listen () to [::] :80, backlog 511 failed (98: adress already in use) "

Looks like port 80 is not released by whichever process was running earlier.
So, kill that process with:
Then restart Nginx.
Curiously I’ve seen this “backlog 511” error in Plesk. Do you use Plesk? If so, switch off and on Nginx by going to Tools & Settings > Services Management.
If that didn’t work, tell us exactly what password you changed.
