Default username and password for Nagios Web UI

I'm trying to get access to Nagios web UI. When I click on "Access Nagios UI" option, I'm redirected to UI that has option only to enter username and password. I tried nagiosadmin and couple of other password listed in the admin guide- welcome. I went through the video on accessing this portal, however, video shows different page that should have program url, email, etc, however, in my case, I only see an option to enter information on username and password.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sanket

Try resetting the nagiosadmin password by running in terminal:

Code: Select all

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

Code: Select all

./reset_nagiosadmin_password.php --password=welcome
Then try to log in the web interface again.

Hope this works.

Thanks! I tried that and I was able to successfully reset the password. I got a message that password reset successful for nagiosadmin.
However, when I try to login to UI, it shows the same message that username/password invalid. I restarted the server but the same message :(
any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Sanket

Do you have any "special characters" in the password? Please, review our wiki post on the topic here.

In the "Username" field, do you enter "nagiosadmin" (one word, all small letters)?
