This is the first page that shows up when i firstly opened my url, not the new password page.
1- Is this the default username = root and password = 5iveL!fe
2- i tried to reset my password using gitlab-ce rails , but after a successful login , i get 404 error page.
3- is there a service that needs to be started in order this to work ?
If you have command-line access and sudo priveleges on the GitLab instance, you can use these instructions to set (or re-set) the root (administrator) password.
This is why i don’t use gitlab, spent hours setting it up in K8 only to find - no way to know or set inital password or user - should be a config for this.
