Troubleshooting Electrical Circuit Problems?

I cut the wire accidentally that went to a GFI outlet. Which obviously tripped the breaker to all the outlets in all 3 bathrooms. I connected the wire with a junction box and wire nuts, reset the breaker and the GFI. The outlets in the bathroom that has the GFI works, but none of the other outlets in the other 2 bathrooms. What do I do?

Since the wire was cut and the breaker was tripped, you'll now need to check the Ohm between the ground and the black and white wires on your GFI switches.

Remove the screws from the outlet, Pull it out of the wall. Find the black and white wires and your ground. Use an Ohm meter to test these wires to see if you have a continuity between the outlet and your wires. If not, then, you'll need to fix the broken wire or check your breaker box to see if there is another issue in these areas.
