you need to reference the HashMap from an initialised object

So lets say I have a class called Users which holds the HashMap userInfo:

class Users {
    public HashMap<String,String> userInfo = new HashMap<>();
    //rest of the code
}

If I want to access this field i need to create an instance of the class Users. I can then access the userInfo field and update the HashMap or override it entirely.

public static void main(String[] args) {
Users users = new Users();
        HashMap<String,String> dataSet1 = new HashMap<>();
        dataSet1.put("Name1","1");
        dataSet1.put("Name2","2");
        users.userInfo = dataSet1;
        System.out.println(users.userInfo);
}

how are you accessing the field userInfo , please show me the relevant code.

no worries
