Hi, You have to change the password for the user admin with your htpasswd like this: /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users admin [<<-- USER NAME] At this time your htpasswd should ask you for a new password. With the same way you are able to add new users to the nagios htpasswd.users, just change the [USER-NAME] Hope this helps.
