Problem
I installed jenkins by downloading jenkins-2.2.pkg. After the installation is complete, Chrome auto-connected to `http://localhost:8080/login?from=%2F` and I see the following message: Unlock Jenkins To ensure Jenkins is securely set up by the administrator, a password has been written to the log (not sure where to find it?) and this file on the server: /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/secrets/initialAdminPassword Please copy the password from either location and paste it below. But I don't have access to secrets folder on my Mac book even when I'm the Admin user. Please help me on how to find the initial admin password?
