The only way to restore the user account is by contacting the Administrator and ask to unlock it.

What is the default master password for pgAdmin?

By Default, the user is 'postgres' and the password is the one which you enter while installing the database. (Version 11,12 I have tested). and enter the password used while installing. Or create a user with login permissions using PgAdmin tool.

How do I find my pgAdmin master password?

The master password is not stored anywhere on the physical storage. It is temporarily stored in the application memory and it does not get saved when the application is restarted. You are prompted to enter the master password when pgAdmin server is restarted.
