Default username and password for TFS2010 installed as localhost

Question

Merry Christmas everyone !

I've installed Team Foundation Server 2010 with advanced configuration but I left the settings as default (like Service Account: NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE and others)...

All good until when I typed http://localhost:8080/tfs and there it asks me to provide username and password.

What is the default username and password ? I didn't provide any username and/or password during configuration.

I typed as my Windows account name but it doesn't work.

Help me please...

Thank you

Answer 1

TFS uses Window's accounts for its permissions. If you're logging in on a workstation setup, rather than one linked to AD then remember you need to specify your machine name as part of the username, for example MACHINE\michaels.

In order to setup new projects you will need to first start off using an administrator account - if your normal username isn't a Windows administrator, then login using your admin username and password (you can then grant permissions to your normal account. You can also use the Windows security groups on the machine to add yourself - there will be a local group called "Team Foundation Administrators". MSDN has a list of the Windows groups you can configure.

Answer 2

it is the windows login , password and u can set it in the administration panel also .

UPDATE - mine was ashutosh-pc\ashutosh and my windows password
