I deployed and successfully logged to the Nagios system several months ago. Then was pulled to other projects. Now I can get back to the Nagios thing. I happily displays the web site login. I can not remember the nagiosadmin password. I can find sites telling me how to create a new account w/a related password but I don't think I need a new account. I just need the password. Is there a method for simply changing the password for the existing nagiosadmin account? The file showing user and encrypted password is located here: /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users Thanks for any assistance. stan -- <a href="mailto:stan.laughlin@gmail.com" target="_blank">stan.laughlin@gmail.com</a> "I'm not suddenly a dirty old man.
