Locked out of Jenkins [closed]
I had this exact issue today on my windows jenkins server.
Just removing the xml file and restarting did not work for me either. I had to:
- Stop the service.
- Check taskmanager to ensure the process is gone.
- Either edit the Config.XML file and change the useSecurity false or delete the config.xml file.
- Now start the service again
You can try: How to restart Jenkins manually?or kill the process in taskmanager or do a taskkill in windows shell.
Here are the instructions to restart from command line:
Open Command Prompt.
Type one of the following: without qoutes
To stop a service, type:
net stop 'service'To start a service, type:
net start 'service'Also I think you may be looking in the wrong folder. Do you have a config.xml in
C:\Users\yourUserName\.jenkins?
