confluence setup problem - login not possible

[Stefan Gruber]

hi

I installed an evaluation version of confluence and something did not work during setup. Now when I start it, I only get the login screen but did not define any username to login and I'm stuck.

Any advice, please?

thx

found another solution. deleting the config xml file in the application data folder helped.

thx anyway!

During the install you should have been prompted to setup a user account:

You can try the following to reset the admin password to your confluence instance:
