Subject: [Nagios-users] how to change nagiosadmin password - forgot it

 

Folks,
I have a Nagios installation on a RedHat enterprise system.
I deployed and successfully logged to the Nagios system several months
ago.
Then was pulled to other projects.  Now I can get back to the Nagios
thing.

I happily displays the web site login.
I can not remember the nagiosadmin password.

I can find sites telling me how to create a new account w/a related
password but I don't think I need a new account.  I just need the
password.

Is there a method for simply changing the password for the existing
nagiosadmin account?

The file showing user and encrypted password is located here:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

Thanks for any assistance.
