Default Jenkins User Password


I don't believe it has any password. You should be able to do:

sudo passwd jenkins

This will prompt for you to set a password.

Alternatively you could create the jenkins user prior to installing, and it would leverage that one.


For fedora,

  1. Go to /root/.jenkins/
  2. open config.xml
  3. In config.xml, set disableSignup to false.
  4. Restart Jenkins.
  5. Go to the Jenkins web page and sign up with a new user.
  6. In config.xml, duplicate one of the hudson.model.Hudson.Administer:username lines and replace username with the new user.
  7. If it's a private server, set disableSignup back to true in config.xml.Restart Jenkins.
  8. Go to the Jenkins web page and log in as the new user.
  9. Reset the password of the original user.
  10. Log in as the original user.


C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile.jenkins\secrets\
