Post-installation setup wizard Unlocking Jenkins Customizing Jenkins with plugins After downloading, installing and running Jenkins using one of the procedures above, the post- installation setup wizard begins. This setup wizard takes you through are a few quick "one-off" steps to unlock Jenkins, customize it with plugins and create the first administrator user through which you can continue accessing Jenkins. When you first access a new Jenkins instance, you are asked to unlock it using an automatically- generated password. After unlocking Jenkins, the  Customize Jenkins  page appears. Here you can install any number of useful plugins as part of your initial setup. Click one of the two options shown: • Install suggested plugins  - to install the recommended set of plugins, which are based on most common use cases. ◦ The Jenkins console log indicates the location (in the Jenkins home directory) where this password can also be obtained. This password must be entered in the setup wizard on new Jenkins installations before you can access Jenkins’s main UI. This password also serves as the default admininstrator account’s password (with username "admin") if you happen to skip the subsequent user-creation step in the setup wizard. ◦ If you ran Jenkins in Docker in detached mode, you can access the Jenkins console log from the Docker logs (above). 3. On the  Unlock Jenkins  page, paste this password into the  Administrator password  field and click  Continue . Notes: 2. From the Jenkins console log output, copy the automatically-generated alphanumeric password (between the 2 sets of asterisks). 1. Browse to  localhost:8080  (or whichever port you configured for Jenkins when installing it) and wait until the  Unlock Jenkins  page appears. 12
