Jenkins Security - Unable to login

Question

I enabled security on Jenkins and added myself as the only user. After clicking on \"Save\" it brought me back to the log-on screen without asking me to create a password. N

Answer 1

When u download the .msi file, we have issues with logging in. The password cannot be found at the location /jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword. So it is advisible to download the generic java package (.war file) from https://jenkins.io/download/

Then go to the Jenkins location in the command prompt and execute the command "java -jar jenkins.war"

After few minutes, at the end of installation and initialization of Jenkins it gives a temporary password. Copy it and now you can access Jenkins at http://localhost:8080 and enter the temporary password
