default login seems not to work

[bdynamic]

I installed dependency track in a tomcat7 environment running on ubuntu and also get the login screen but the default login credentials admin/admin do not work (athentication failure invalid username or password)

Did you deploy the war for version 1.0, or did you compile from the master branch?

I used the pre compiled version 1.0 and installed it via the tomcat7 manager webgui.
Is there a way how I can (editing files, db) reset a password?

I'm having the same problem: a freshly-installed precompiled WAR version 1.0 rejects login with admin/admin. As one may guess, this is a complete blocker :-)

Hello, i'm having problems with default login in both versions, pre-compiled (.WAR)and compiled from source code. I installed it via the tomcat8 manager webgui to.
Is there any way to access the app?

Tomcat log contained errors saying that the server cannot create files under /usr/share/tomcat8/dependency-track. My /usr/share/tomcat8 was owned by root:root and had permissions 755, so Tomcat could not create directory dependency-track there.

Dependency Track creates this directory in appHome, defined in application.properties. By default, it's the Tomcat's home, which is /usr/share/tomcat8. Change it to something writable by Tomcat.

I know this is an old issue, but I just downloaded the 1.0.0 GA release from OWASP and admin/admin worked for me.

v3.0 will also use the same type of directory structure. Although it defaults to ~/.dependency-track
