Kindly suggest how can recover it.

You can reset the admin password. Run the following in the frappe-bench directory:

bench --site sitename set-admin-password new-passowrd

Please share how your ERPNext instance is setup.

The general steps are:

  1. SSH into the server.
  2. Switch to the frappe user created during installation.
  3. Navigate to the frappe-bench directory. This contains the folders like apps (containing the Frappe and ERPNext apps) and sites (your instance), etc.
  4. Run the set-admin-password command and set a new password.
  5. Check by logging with new credentials.

Run ls and check the directories under your user. There should be something created as frappe- bench. This is where you have to run the command.

command not found error is coming

cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench
Then run the command to set admin password.

Or if it didn’t work, then cd /home
Then ls -l
It will show list of users, cd into each one of them and ls -l till you find frappe-bench
