Reset nagios user password?

Are there any repercussions to resetting the Nagios user password? I don't mean nagiosadmin, but nagios. We're unable to logon locally and the local password is locked.

This depends on the type of checks that you have. Normally, this shouldn't be an issue, but let's say you have many "check_by_ssh" checks, that are not "passwordless", changing the nagios password will create issues. I wish I could be more specific, but again, this depends on your environment.

I did reset the password with no problems. I set it to the original password according to my records. As far as I can tell, it was locked because of too many wrong authentication attempts.

Ah, well sounds like this is solved. Any further questions on this point?
