If you were so smart to download and unzip Tomcat distribution, be so 
smart once more and read what the tomcat home page says about 
usernames/password: 

"NOTE: For security reasons, using the administration webapp is restricted 
to users with role "admin". The manager webapp is restricted to users with 
role "manager".  Users are defined in 
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml."

There is no default user and password. You have to edit
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to create a user. The user needs
the manager role to access the manager app and the admin role to
access the admin app.
