[Issue that I’m facing]

I’m encountering an issue with my Bash prompt in WSL, where instead of the usual format (e.g., username@hostname:~$), however, it’s displaying only hostname:~$ instead. It used to show up with the username and the @ symbol, however, I was facing issues not being able to use apt-get update or apt-get upgrade commands because I couldn’t figure out my password.

So I tried multiple different things and decided to reinstall everything so that I could start fresh, but I think that might have backfired as I’m only seeing this format: “hostname:~$.”

In an attempt to resolve the issue, I tried checking with ChatGPT, which suggested me to use multiple different commands like nano ~/.bashrc but I would get this: -sh: nano: not found.

Would someone please help guide me on what I need to do to resolve the issue…?
