Executing Servlets thru Tomcat 5.5.17.

I have just installet Tomcat 5.5.17 in order to execute Servlets.

Though the service is running,I am unable to access it.

When I say:

http://localhost:8080

it prompts me with a username and password screen:

I enter 'admin' as the user name and password is blank:

but am unable to go to the tomcat page.

Has anyone encountered this before?

I even tried entering 'tomcat' as user and 'tomcat' as password.

No luck.

Changed the server.xml ,but still keeps asking to user /passwd

<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->

<Connector

port="80"maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" value

Is there another setup / change required?>

How about admin/admin?

Anyway, those credentials should be there, in some xml configuration file (admin.xml ? -- don't remember).
