You need to rethink your hypothesis so it is supported by the data.
some information; the data still provide valuable information about the hypothesis
It could point to that the hypothesis was wrong.
Do the experiment again and again to confirm the data is correct If the data is consistent then your hypothesis is wrong and you need to think of a new one that fits the data.
Propose another hypothesis; the hypothesis is revised and another experiment is conducted.

Two reasons why data might not support a hypothesis are that the experiment had a flaw or was not repeated enough times. This happens a lot.

An experiment is performed to generate more data. If the data proves to not support the hypothesis the experiment was still useful. You could reproduce your experiment to see if it is performing the way it should. After you have confirmed the experiment is performing correctly you then could devise another experiment to further test your hypothesis or accept the result and revise your hypothesis.
An experiment can support a hypothesis by providing data that aligns with the predicted outcomes, demonstrating a consistent relationship between the variables involved. Conversely, it can fail to support a hypothesis if the results do not match the expected patterns or if the data shows no significant effect. Even when a hypothesis is not supported, valuable insights can be gained, leading to revisions or new hypotheses. Overall, the outcomes of an experiment contribute to the iterative process of scientific inquiry.
The purposes of testing a hypothesis is to test it. Pass or fail, the experiment is a "success" if it does that - tests the hyposthesis. If the results don't support the hypothesis, then that is valuable data that helps you either abandon or refine the hypothesis.
