Jenkins default password-What is the default Jenkins password?

Question

I'm using a EC2 server instance. Used the following to install Jenkins:

wget -q -O - http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install jenkins

but I need to install software on the Jenkins server so in my EC2 instance I did

sudo –s –H –u jenkins

to get into the jenkins server. Then I tried to do

sudo cabal install quickcheck

but it prompted me for jenkins password. I've been searching around the internet for 4hrs now and nothing is helping me get administrative privilege in the jenkins server.

So I'm building my project using the following command in shell:

sudo cabal clean

sudo cabal configure

sudo cabal build

sudo cabal install

This is the error I'm getting:

Answer 1

Follow the below-mentioned steps to fix your error:

1. Stop Jenkins

2. Go to edit the config file. Path:/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml

3. Change the "use security" setting from true to false

4. Go to Jenkins dashboard and navigate to the configure security option, set it to "allow anyone to do anything" and allow user signup

5. Create a user on:

www.yoursite.com/securityRealm/addUser

6. Go back to Jenkins dashboard and to configure security and change it from "allow anyone to do anything" to what you want your users to be able to do.
