The first time you start Jenkins, the configuration is created along with the initial default administrator account.
If for some reason you have skipped the user-creation step in the setup wizard, you can use the default admin username and password to access the Jenkins UI.
The Jenkins default password is stored in the $JENKINS_HOME/secrets/initialAdminPassword file (the exact location of the Jenkins default password is indicated in the Jenkins console log).

Default Jenkins Password
The Jenkins default username is admin.
The Jenkins default password has to be written to the $JENKINS_HOME/secrets/initialAdminPassword file on the server, that is usually located at:
/var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
| Default Username | File with default Password |
|---|---|
admin |
/var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword |
Very helpful! Thank yooou1 <3
Thank you this.
However I have reinstalled Jenkins a number of times in my Mac, and every time the wizard skips the user creation step.
I have followed the steps above, but I keep getting a message stating that I am using incorrect user details when I use ‘admin’ as the user name, and the password located above.
Can anyone suggest a solution ?
Thank you,
Sean
