Well, I did recover. Our jenkins is on a windows machine and evidently there was another Jenkins process running that was not the service (??) don't know how that happens. There was also a second Java/Jenkins process issuing a cli command. Perhaps that kept the service process from terminating.
Anyway, I am back. From: Ginga, Dick Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2014 9:28 AM To: 'jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com' Subject: locked out of Jenkins Importance: High OK, I did it. I hit the wrong key and now everyone is locked out of jenkins, including me, I tried the below but it did not work. Why would I "try renaming or deleting config,xml"? Won't I lose everything? 1. Stop Jenkins (the easiest way to do this is to kill the servlet container.) 2. Go to $JENKINS_HOME in the file system and find config.xml file. 3. Open this file in the editor. 4. Look for the <useSecurity>true</useSecurity> element in this file. 5. Replace true with false 6. Remove the elements authorizationStrategy and securityRealm 7. Start Jenkins 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.
