Where is cmdline.txt located on the SD card?

I need to reset a forgotten RPI OS password. In order to do that I need to insert the SD card to the computer and edit the cmdline.txt file. It is not anywhere on the SD card root folder or any of the subfolders.

These are the files that I can find on the SD card

  • (DIR) defaults
  • (DIR) os
  • bootcode.bin
  • BUILD-DATA
  • INSTRUCTIONS-README.txt
  • recovery.cmdline
  • recovery.elf
  • RECOVERY_FILES_DO_NOT_EDIT
  • recovery.img
  • recovery.rfs
  • riscos-boot.bin
  • config.txt
  • (DIR) etc
