Your "issue" is a Linux "issue", not a Jenkins one.

Most likely the user "jenkins" doesn't have ha login shell, thus you
can't log in.

If you like to give/change his password however, you can always do this
as root.

The reason this is handled like this in Linux environment is mostly for
security reasons.

Hope that helps
