I installed the new Couchbase Server 1.8.1 yesterday on Linux Ubuntu 12.04, and everything seemed to go well, but then my web session timed out and now I'm stuck with it not letting me log in or use API methods that require username and password.

One of the last steps I did was to put in and confirm my admin password, which I assumed meant my Admin password for my computer, and that's what I used. (I don't remember being asked to put in an admin username.)

So I have two questions:

1) Was I supposed to invent a new username and password for Couchbase, or does it use the machine admin account?

2) Now that I am in this state where I don't know the username and password, is there a way to get a working username/password, or do I need to uninstall Couchbase Server and reinstall it? i.e What can I do now?

Thanks,

Dronz

The web console always, pre-populates the username as "Administrator" (without the quotes). so try that with whatever password you used.

p.s and yes A is in uppercase, not a mistake.

Aha! Thanks Plyush! That worked!

And thanks to the developers, for not making it lock me out for too many failed logins.
