I have been playing around with Drupal 9 and forgot the admin password. If this happens to you, go to the base folder of the drupal installation.

Go to the base folder of the drupal installation
Generate the hash for your password: php core/scripts/password-hash.sh ’newpasswd'
Execute in mysql: UPDATE users_field_data SET pass=‘hash_result_from_previous_command_goes_here’ WHERE uid = 1;
Clear the cache: DELETE FROM cache_entity WHERE cid = ‘values:user:1’;
