Check if are you trying to login with the correct admin password or not?

You can check the default password for admin at - tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-client-config.xml
Search for <initial-password> and try login with the password mentioned there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thank you for your answer.
The default admin password is admin:


      <admin>
         <initial-password>admin</initial-password>
      </admin>
‍‍‍‍‍

I'm trying to login as admin/admin at http://server:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp but it is giving me that error yet.

Thank you very much!
Bye.

Is it giving you any error on console?

Have you integrated any authentication mechanism e.g LDAP etc?

Not in the console, where I can check exactly?

Have you integrated any authentication mechanism e.g LDAP etc?

Absolutely not, I've just installed Alfresco and I configured nothing else.

I checked in the alfresco.log and catalina.out files but I don't see any new lines when I try to login.

Do you have any hints?

Have you properly created the database and made the relevant configuration in alfresco-global.properties file when you have installed alfresco?

Also, try running the below Out-of-the-box authentication webscript and see what it returns?
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin

I have this exact same issue. Unable to log in to Alfresco or Share. The password in the xml file you mentioned is the same password I'm using to login.
The results of your webscript above follows:
HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.

Apache Tomcat/6.0.35

Have you tried the following:

Used different browsers…

Ping for connectivity either from server to workstation, vice versa

Are you using any type of SSL connection?

Have you tried logging into http://fqdn:8080/share

Browsers tested: Firefox and Internet Explorer with the same results.
I receive the login prompt on the share side, but when I try to login: "The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized." The error on the Explorer side is in my first post. I just tried the fqdn with the same results. I have confirmed the password to use in web-client-config.xml.

I had this same problem, but for me it had to do with the SSL certificate that I was using. I'm using CentOS 6.4 with Alfresco 4.2.c.

Alfresco has a wiki on creating your own certificate and using it with tomcat, but like I said in a previous post. I could never get it to work. I ended up using apache for the ssl connection.

Share isn't running. There will be an error in either share.log or catalina.out (or both). Either it isn't loading or it is aborting shortly after it starts.

Hi Johnson,

In share logs i am getting following Error's

Well, ImageMagick and pdf2swf are not installed on your system or are installed in somehere other than the default. Is this a new install of 4.2 or has this problem just suddently occured on an previously working system?

That said, neither of these errors would stop share comming up as they are Alfresco errors. Do you have a share.log anywhere?

Hi jhonson.

now here i installed ImageMagick and pdf2swf in my OS and i have mentioned the same path in repository.properties file as below.

ooo.exe=/opt/openoffice.org3
ooo.user=${dir.root}/oouser
#img.root=./ImageMagick
img.root=/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.6.9-10
img.dyn=${img.root}/lib
img.exe=${img.root}/bin/convert
#swf.exe=./bin/pdf2swf
swf.exe=/usr/local/swftools-0.9.0/bin
swf.languagedir=.

than also i am not able to logged in to share dash board.

and here i am not able to getting share.log and alfresco.log files separately.can u please help me out how can i get that on jboss-eap-6 where i need to change the configuration for getting logs.

Re: Unable to login as default admin password

rjohnson — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:37:42 GMT

I don't use jboss, I'm on tomcat however I would expect that the set up is broadly the same. You need to look for files log4j.properties and you should find them in webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/ and webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/ and in these you should find properties log4j.appender.File.File and this is where you set the file names you want to use for logging.
