Drush (Drupal shell) is a program that you can install on your computer and/or on your web-hosting server, which allows you to easily build and maintain all aspects of your Drupal installation, whether that be a 'Local' site on your computer, or an online site.
There are several methods to recover the Drupal administrator ("user 1") password. DrupalConsole and drush provide commands to recover and manage users passwords. If you do not use DrupalConsole or drush you can recover the password via mail.
