Hi Manish

How did you write the inventory file settings when running install.yml?

This is what I can see in inventory file which comes with install set by default and nothing was changed .

# This will create or update a default admin (superuser) account in AWX, if not provided

# then these default values are used

admin\_user=awx-admin  
admin\_password=CHANGE\_ME

As a work around you can follow the below steps :  
1st method:

1. Create a super user with awx\_manage utility:  
$ docker exec -it awx\_web /bin/bash  
$ awx-manage createsuperuser  
username:  
email:  
Password:
2. Now login with this created superuser

2nd:

1. \*Remove temporary database files \*  
#cd /tmp/pgdata  
#rm -rf \*
2. Execute awx playbook ‘install.yml’:  
ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml -vv

Hi,  
I am facing the same issue and I tried to create new superuser using awx-manage createsuperuser but still unable to login to AWX UI.  
Login page is coming up but getting “Invalid username and/or password. Please try again.” message.

Could you please advise?

Thanks  
Srini
