Open a ssh (putty) session to your Nagios XI server, and run the following command to reset the nagiosadmin's password:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_nagiosadmin_password.php --password=<newpassword>
where, you substitute the <newpassword> with your actual password, for example:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_nagiosadmin_password.php --password=mypassword123
Hope this helps.
