GitLab EE instructions from Digital Ocean not working

Asked by HidingBlueAnemone
I just installed GitLab Enterprise Edition. According to the “Getting Started” instructions, the first time I access the instance from the IP address, I should be able to set the admin password. However, when I access the IP address I get a registration/login screen for regular users. How do I set the password for the admin on a new GitLab install?

Hi there,
According to the documentation here, unless you provided a custom password during installation, a password will be randomly generated and stored for 24 hours in
/etc/gitlab/initial_root_passwordfile.You can use this password with username
rootto login and then change it via the UI as normal after that.Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
