If you have installed Jenkins using Docker and you are not able to find the password using the command :

$ sudo cat /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/secrets/initialAdminPassword

Then do following steps :

1. Type in your command prompt : docker ps

2. Find the running containerID

3. Type docker exec -it <containerID> bash

4. Type cd /var/jenkins_home/secrets

5. Type cat initialAdminPassword

Answer 3

If you are using jenkins image from dockerhub repo and create a container then you can get the initial password using:

$ sudo docker exec jenkins_containerid cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

OR if installing from jenkins.io docs (https://jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/):

$ sudo docker exec jenkins_containerid cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword

OR you can see the docker logs of container

$ sudo docker logs jenkinscontainerID

1. Make the Jenkins user an admin: sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a jenkins -t user admin

3. Make the Jenkins user automatically login when the computer is restarted:

If you homebrew installed JENKINS, then by default, JENKINS_HOME is at ~/.jenkins This is also the location where you will find you will find your initial password inside the secrets folder.

So: cd ~/.jenkins cd secrets open initialAdminPassword
