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

I was running Jenkins executing java -jar jenkins.war.

In my case Jenkins wrote webroot in an stdout: webroot: $user.home/.jenkins. So admin secret key was placed in a ~/.jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword.
