Like other people have mentioned, one solution is to do a "force sync" the entire depot which is basically overwriting everything from server into your local. The downside to this is that it could take a LONG time to finish if you are working on a big depot.

Another alternative is to compare your local workspace with the server, then only force sync the files that are missing from your workspace.

p4 diff -sd //Depot/path/… | p4 -x – sync -f

-sd option: Show only the names of unopened files that are missing from the client workspace, but present in the depot.

There are more options (sa/se/etc.) available if -sd is not what you need. see here.
