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.

What is the default username and password for Nexus 3?

Nexus Repository Manager 3 includes a default 'admin' Administrator user account. Versions before 3.17. 0 had the default password of this account set to admin123 by default. New installations of version 3.17.

How do I find my Nexus administrator password?

The default password for user admin in Nexus is admin123 . The first security measure is to change the default password.

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

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

Can you go open an issue at our JIRA: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS and attach your full nexus.log so we can take a look?
