Answer 1

From TeamCity 8 you can log in as a super user and change the password that way. You just need to use an empty username and last occurrence of the "super user authentication token" found in the logs\teamcity-server.log file as your password.

Please see the following for more information:

• TeamCity 9 - http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD9/Super+User

Ok, so you've forgot username and password in your teamcity instance.
How to reset password: described here.
How to get username:

• go to the teamcity data directory
• open config\database.properties file
• there is connectionUrl property which points out to database which stores some teamcity settings
• take a look at users table

Update

After you get the user name you can reset reset its password via the following(copied from linked answer):

• Open a command prompt and go to \webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib folder
• Run the following: ..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java.exe -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword username newpassword
