It was just too hard for them to put that in the doc I guess... – jeremyjjbrown Mar 11 '14 at 20:09

Unfortunately this doesn't work in SonarQube 6. – IgorGanapolsky Oct 11 '16 at 14:37
@IgorG. I'm using SonarQube 6.6 with [docker compose](https://github.com/SonarSource/docker-sonarqube/blob/master/recipes.md) and [admin/admin](http://www.commitstrip.com/en/2016/10/14/good-old-adminpassword/) works just fine. – Simon Forsberg Nov 11 '17 at 22:12

If you are like me and have installed Sonarqube 6.4 using jdk 9 / jre 9 the login will always fail. This is due to the fact that java 9 is not supported. Please change the java version to 8 that is supported.

You can also point to a different java version in the conf/wrapper.conf file:

wrapper.java.command=/some/path/to/proper/jdk8

Valid jdk/jre options are found here: https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Requirements

In Bitnami's official Docker implementation, the defaults are:

username: admin

password: bitnami

This worked for me on SonarQube 7.9.1.
