Just installed Nexus 3.0.0-03, started up, followed the doc, but can't login with default admin/admin123.

The only error I can see is the login refusal message:Incorrect username or password, or no permission to use the application.

user name is admin

There is password in /nexus-data/admin.password path in your nexus host.

cat /nexus-data/admin.password

you must change your password at first login

also If you implement nexus through docker, you should use command below:

docker exec -it <container_name_or_ID> cat /nexus-data/admin.password
