There is a label on the power jack that says “5V”. A 12 V supply will result in undesirable consequences.

CircuitCo has a 12 Volt to 5 Volt linear regulator CAPE for the BBB, that will allow you to put 12 Volts into the CAPE, and 5 Volts gets sent to the BBB.

Of course, it might be cheaper to just buy a 5V Wall-Wart.
