A cheap fan light bulb separated between the base and glass and shorted

Now I am not getting power at the bulb or in the wall switch.
None of the breakers appeared to be tripped and anyway I switched them
all off
and on but still no power.
Whats up ? Am I right in assuming that its a breaker, and if so how can

I identify the right one.
Thanks !

I had a similar experience once. It turned out that the livingroom
outlet I was using had its feed from a bathroom (next-to-sink) outlet
with a reset button. Whoever did the original wiring connected the
feed line to the output (instead of input) end of the bathroom outlet,
hence disconnecting supply to livingroom whenever the bathroom
receptacle tripped.

Check the reset buttons in all bathroom plugs.
