How to reset the admin user's password for Nagios GUI

Post by itIsMrKevin »

Hi All,

I am new to Nagios and coud use some help. I checked in /var/log/nagios/nagios.log on the Nagios host server and found the following line: Nagios 3.2.3 starting...
So, I believe this is the version of Nagios that we are currently running. The Nagios host machine has CentOS 5.9 installed on it. I found that we have a GUI for Nagios and found an Admin username and password written down by the previous system administrator. Unfortunately, this username and password combination do not work. Is there anyway for me to reset the password for this administrative user from the back-end? Thanks.
