TeamCity forgotten admin password - where to look?

Question

I need to recover/reset the admin password for JetBrain\'s TeamCity.

I have full RDP access to the server so no problems there. It\'s just been 2 mo

Answer 1

Specifically for TeamCity running on Tomcat on Windows it will be C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity

The directory specified as the last parameter needs to be your Data Directory (find in /logs/teamcity-server.log)

You'll get the 'Table not found' error if you don't have this correct.

You'll get a 'The database is already in use' error if you've got TeamCity running.

you can also search you /logs/teamcity-server.log to see whether you created admin, administrator, or some other admin user name.
