Do you know the name of your data file? If you don't know the name/path, 
do you at least know the file extension (if it has one; most likely 
.gnucash). Do you know how to use the "search for file" tool(s) of the 
operating system you are using?

Once you know the name of the file, when gnucash opens with this new. 
blank slate, use File => open, navigate to your data file (you know its 
name/path now) and select it. NOW after you have closed down gnucash, it 
will be at the top of the "most recently opened list" and you next time 
should open with it.
