Unable to Login to Nagios

[Mark Gius]

Default web access is controlled via apache's basic auth module, using a 
password file.  The default name for this file is "htpasswd."  I would 
look in your apache and nagios directories for a file of that name for a 
start.

If you can't find that, look in your apache configs and find the nagios 
configuration file.  Inside there it should define an "AuthUserFile."  
You'll want to edit that file.  You should note that the passwords in 
that file are (hopefully) 1-way hashes, so you'll need to replace your 
existing entry with another hashed one (see the 'htpasswd' command for 
doing that).
