CDSW 1.6.1 default Admin/Site administrator Username and password

Hi Cloudera Community,

I have just completed installation of CDSW 1.6.1 in my DEV cluster.

I just want to know the initial "admin" account credentials.

I have tried below listed username/password combinations so far, but no luck:

1. admin/admin

2. cloudera/cloudera

3.admin/cloudera

Regards,

Nanda

@nanda_bigdata Normally this is admin/admin but this depends on initial setup. If you do not remember the original password, you can reset it by going directly to http://cdsw.company.com/forgot-password

Once reset, use debug login URL http://cdsw.company.com/login?debug=1 to fallback to the local database.

Let us know if this resolves your issue.
