The default login for the admin user for the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.2.1 and other v5 versions is “admin”. The passwords is obviously also “admin”. However if you try those right after the installation they won’t work, because you need to patch two files:
The two files you need to modify are
– jboss-as/server/<profile>/deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/web-console.war/WEB-INF/classes/web-console-users.properties
– jboss-as/server/<profile>/conf/props/jmx-console-users.properties
In both files you need to find line that looks like
#admin=admin
and uncomment it (i.e remove the “#” sign in the beginning of the line).
You don’t need to restart the server in order to make the default login work.
