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          


        

Answer 1

By default, Jenkins account is created without password and with the login shell as /bin/false.

jenkins:x:496:493:Jenkins Continuous Integration Server:/var/lib/jenkins:/bin/false

Change the shell to /bin/bash and you should be able to login without password by sudo su - jenkins.

Command to change the shell is:

chsh -s /bin/bash jenkin
