Step 1: Know your username your ubuntu username can be found by various ways. the easiest method is to run the $whoami command on Ubuntu terminal to get your username. Here my username is chamodhk Step 2: Reset the password Now close your Ubuntu terminal and open windows command prompt and run the command wsl -d Ubuntu -u root now you have logged in as the root of the Ubuntu system and now type the following command. passwd <your_username> in this command replace the <your_username> part with your actual username. In my case, the command is passwd chamodhk That's it. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your new password. Don't forget to leave a comment :) bye.
