I tried using Jenkins or my admin username as user and password. For password, I tried to update using sudo passwd jenkins, so I am fine on that. However, I am skeptical about the user name. How do I confirm the username for Jenkins? Can someone pls help me?

During the initial run of Jenkins a security token is generated and printed in the console log. The username is admin

The token should look something like,

*************************************************************

Jenkins initial setup is required. A security token is required to proceed.
Please use the following security token to proceed to installation:

41d2b60b0e4cb5bf2025d33b21cb

*************************************************************

For me the initial admin password was in a log at ~/.jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

after installing with homebrew.

  • Thanks! but I have installed via homebrew and I dont thnk I have come across the above. I tried with username admin and it still doesnt work. – Ashvitha Nov 13 '16 at 03:34
  • I updated my answer with the location the log should be at when installed with homebrew. – HParker Nov 13 '16 at 03:49

  • I just noticed, there is a secret key which i just dragged and dropped into my browser and I got something like 51e84abf59589daf8f553dc2dca09559144ef08e648eb4724e5b19b04573efd2 but this doesn't seem to work as well. – Ashvitha Nov 13 '16 at 03:59

If you pod is running in a Kubernetes cluster, just look at the running process … Your initial password will be shown…

e.g.

--argumentsRealm.passwd.admin=**3kJQtPDkhk** --argumentsRealm.roles.admin=admin

Username: admin

For password, 

cat /Users/$(whoami)/.jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

you will get similar to this token 2762710d8dab4c88a59fea0a2e559069

  • If you are running a Docker Jenkins instalation, then you will need to get inside the container so you can retrieve that password with something like: `docker exec -it /bin/bash` and then search it in `var/jenkins_home` or wherever you have jenkins_home configured <3 – sujumayas Jul 01 '19 at 11:09
