Can't use Nexus Repository Manager 3.0 default admin user

Just installed Nexus 3.0.0-03, started up, followed the doc, but can't login with default admin/admin123.

The only error I can see is the login refusal message:Incorrect username or password, or no permission to use the application.

You cannot create another admin user via configuration (without going deep down the rabbit hole), the initial user admin/admin123 should work.

Faced the same problem.

Steps I took to resolve it:

  1. Open the admin.password file inside sonatype-work>nexus3 and copy it's contents.
  2. Paste the copied value from step 1(from the admin.password file) into the password field. Enter 'admin' for the username.

user name is admin

There is password in /nexus-data/admin.password path in your nexus host.

cat /nexus-data/admin.password

you must change your password at first login

also If you implement nexus through docker, you should use command below:

docker exec -it <container_name_or_ID> cat /nexus-data/admin.password

Look into location:

/home/[yourHomeDirName]/sonatype-work/nexus3/admin.password
