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>

Since it seems we're starting from square one here, I'd recommend taking<br>
a look at your webserver's configuration, determining what it's using to<br>
authenticate, and following the trail from there.<br>
<br>
There are too many possible answers to your question to be able to give<br>
you an answer without at least a little information about your<br>
configuration.<br>
