Check the file in <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf named tomcat-users.xml.
If you don't find something there edit to look something like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <user username="admin" password="password" roles="standard,manager,admin"/>
</tomcat-users>
