if it is windows just go to

C:\Users\yourusername.jenkins\secrets

and you will find initialAdminPassword file just use that as a password

I am using windows and the password from "initialAdminPassword" worked for me. But how do I change the password of "admin" user. Simply changing content of the above file does not work, and it still uses the old password even after I restart the tomcat. Probably I need to do some more steps. Can anybody help? – Chinmay Apr 12 '19 at 16:12

For Ubuntu you need go to folder home/[user name]/.jenkins and your password is this folder.

`ls -a` or `Ctrl+H`, if you install jenkins from terminal your home page locale on `/var/lib/jenkins` – Oct 05 '15 at 13:55
