Default credentials for Jenkins after installation(Windows 10) -Jenkins Default Password

Question

I have downloaded Jenkins on Windows10. When I try to access Jenkins, it is asking for username and password. I have read the threads on the same issue. But I do not find any secrets folder or config.xml file under Jenkins folder.

Answer 1

For this the Username is admin. Password should be located in:

$JENKINS_HOME/secrets/initialAdminPassword

You can view the password using:

cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

or

cat $JENKINS_HOME/secrets/initialAdminPassword
