Hi Joel,
I understand that you reset your Apple ID because you forgot the password, but now you're unable to close FaceTime. I'm happy to provide some help for this issue.
First, force FaceTime to quit:
How to force an app to quit - Apple Support
Then restart your MacBook, and deselect the option to 'Reopen windows when logging back in':
Automatically re-open windows, apps, and documents on your Mac - Apple Support


When you log out and log in

When you log in, apps that were open the last time you used your Mac automatically re-open . When you log out, you can select or deselect 'Reopen windows when logging back in' from the Log Out window. This option sets whether your apps should re-open the next time you log in. It remains selected the way you last set it, so you have to change this setting only when you want to change the current behavior.

To temporarily prevent apps from opening when you log in, hold the Shift key during login. This prevents apps from opening automatically, even if you selected the option to open them the last time you logged out.



Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
