One may accidentally set up security realm / authorization in such a way that you may no longer able to reconfigure Jenkins. When this happens, you can fix this by the following steps:
When Jenkins comes back, it's in the unsecured mode where everyone gets full access to the system. If this is still not working, trying renaming or deleting config.xml. |
Disable security
Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata

I successfully managed to lock myself out on the Jenkins ver. 1.539 and i am unable to gain access to it.
i had set up my security realm to use the Jenkins database.
The config.xml file seems to have been excluded from this release and as such am unable to edit it.
How do i gain access?

Steven Merrill's suggestion worked for me.
However, finding the config.xml file was difficult, because I installed Jenkins 1.580 using theDebian package. In my case, the variable $JENKINS_HOME was empty.
After some search, I found the file /etc/default/jenkins showed that jenkins home is /var/lib/jenkins/.
I found the config.xml there, changed it as per Steven Merrill suggestion, and restarted jenkins daemon by using the command "sudo service jenkins restart".
This fixed the problem.
