I've installed the jenkins.war in my Tomcat 8.

After installation I set that only registered users are allowed to create new jobs, but I have never created any user. Now I can't do anything in jenkins. I'm simply locked-out.

I tried to reinstall it but all the settings remain. I even reinstalled tomcat to get rid of the issue. I searched my whole filesystem for all files with the name "config.xml" and for everything that has to do with "jenkins", I've scanned the whole Windows-Registry for the key "jenkins".

But nothing helped. My Windows Server can be free of tomcat+jenkins and clean of everything related to it, but as soon as I reinstall tomcat+jenkins the old settings are still present.

Can anyone tell me, where these settings might be? (obviously not here: Can't find config.xml anywhere within Jenkins folder)

I had the same probleme as you. After a long search i found the config files in two different folders

  • C:\Users\user name\.jenkins (obvious)
  • C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.jenkins : this one by doing a global search on all my files.

I deleted the two folders and i started the tomcat server bingo!!! jenkins returned to his initial state
