Hi saranga,
Welcome to the community! :)
Let me share the article below since it is applicable to the M5300 series switch. Let us know the results.
How do I recover the password for my managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switch?
Hope it helps.

Dear DaneA
Thanks again for your follow up , I tried password recovery option via boot menu using rear panel DB9 port as per attached snap.But no success , i doubt that it because switches are stacked. Please guide me to recover the password.
