I did not do the install and am very new to Tomcat. Tomcat is working fine but when I bring up the main Tomcat page and select Tomcat Manager, it prompts for username and password. When I put in the username and password assigned to the manager role in tomcat-user.xml, it fails to give me access. I have deleted and recreated the xml file and restarted Tomcat to no avail. I need to get access to the Manager function for an upgrade of software we have installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
