UN: nagiosadmin
PWD: nagiosxi

This should be the default credentials but if you have any difficulties I will will download it and check to verify.

your password was correct.

A very strange thing happened - somehow my new vm was using the virtual hard drive of the old running vm of Nagios XI, so had that password, hosts and services already configured, etc. I've never seen that happen before, a vm mind meld.

i moved the vm to another ESX server and it works just fine.

sorry for the false alarm.

Ahh excellent! I have had something similar situations happen as well with VM chicanery. ;-)
