I have tried and read various articles over the internet about hashing a new password for Tor. My tor is installed in local disk D I used the following commands in the command prompt

D:\softwares\tor\Tor Browser\Browser>firefox --hash-password <my password> | more
D:\softwares\tor\Tor Browser\Browser>firefox --hash-password <my password> > tor-password.txt

to get the output of the hashed password but there is no o/p of the hashed password instead the command is prompting to open the Tor browser. And the text file in the location is also empty. I noticed that my tor application name was firefox.exe in the installed location but it created a shortcut named tor on the desktop. After getting my hashed password I am intending to use it in torrc ( TOR configuration file) to Update the “ControlPort” listener for TOR to listen on port 9051, as this is the port to which TOR will listen for any communication from applications talking to the Tor controller, Update the hashed password and to Implement cookie authentication

I am following the below articles to build a web scraper. How to scrape websites without getting blocked and How To Make Anonymous Requests using TorRequests and Python

Please mention if I can provide any further details.

It was a silly mistake, I went to the directory where I had the installed application but I had to look into the bin name is tor.exe at your_installation_path\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor and execute the command D:\softwares\tor\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor>tor.exe --hash-password <my password> | more follow this answer for clarification https://stackoverflow.com/a/59612997/10990865
