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

The password is present in the log generated by docker run image as shown in the example below.

Jenkins Docker run log

Additionally you can check the directory /var/jenkins_home/secrets/ Its in the file name initialAdminPassword

You can use cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword to read it.
