How do I reset git head to previous local commit and then push that commit to my remote

I have a single branch (master) on my git repo. I have been pushing commits to my remote repo.

I now want to revert back to a previous commit, and start from there again.

I have run the following:

git reset --hard <commit hash>

Now the head is at my chosen commit, from here I want to push this chosen commit as the head to my remote master branch.

git push origin master

It won't work - error message stats 

'Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote counterpart.'

How do I checkout a previous commit locally, set the head to be at that commit and then push to my remote repo?

Thank you

The $ git reset --hard commit part is okay, you just need to do $ git push --force origin master
