<div> </div>
<div> <pre class="bbcodeblock" dir="ltr" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset; PADDING-RIGHT: 3px; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; PADDING-LEFT: 3px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px; MARGIN: 0px -99999px 0px 0px; OVERFLOW: auto; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; WIDTH: 98%; PADDING-TOP: 3px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset; HEIGHT: 50px; TEXT-ALIGN: left">
# htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users</pre></div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">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.<br>
<br>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).<br>

<div>That is understandable. What exactly am I looking for in my webservers configuration? What information can I provide. I have a typical Nagios install with a few servers being monitored.</div>

<div>Is there a way to reset the password for the Nagios web portal or access? Not sure how to refer to the web access of Nagios.</div>
