“Resort to doing” means to do something that you do not want to do or is not in your best interest, simply because you cannot find any other way of achieving it. So in other words, it means that you have no choice but to go with that option.

it means it was your second option, the first one didn't work out so you had to resort to doing the other option.
eg my glue didn't work so i had to resort to using my tape
there was a power cut so i resorted to using candles
You can also use "last resort" this is your last option
eg it is my last resort so i hope it works
