Alfresco Cannot login with admin:admin

[eleanor]

Hi,

I've installed community edition of Alfresco successfully without any problems. Now I've accessed the  http://alfresco:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp, where I can enter a username and password, but I can't login with the username and password combination admin:admin or alfresco:alfresco.

The login dialog says: "Unable to login - unknown username/password."

Did default username and password change in the latest version of Alfresco. I'm using the following versions:
- Alfresco: 4.2.f
- Tomcat: 7
- System: Debian 7

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, this hash worked fine - now I'm able to login with the admin:admin combination. I'm not sure I want to post that hash, because it might reveal sensitive information - my password if cracked, but if you have an idea which cleartext passwords to check for, I would be glad to help.

Thank you

Glad it worked for you. The reason i was asking for earlier hash was because it must have been set as something else then of admin and hence it was not allowing you to login. If you are curious what was it before then you yourself can check decrypting NTLM hash and find the cleartext for it. It is just in case you want to know what was it before you can give a try decrypting earlier NTLM hash. Anyways, its good that you are now able to login to alfresco repository.
You may want to give a point to the post if you feel that it helped you solve the problem and also mark it as SOLVED.
