To reset the default nagiosadmin account using the user_id for the account you can execute:

/usr/local/nagiosfusion/scripts/reset_fusionuser_password.sh -i 1 -p welcome

The nagiosadmin account is the first account in the system, hence it has the user_id of 1.

To reset the default nagiosadmin account using the username you can execute:

/usr/local/nagiosfusion/scripts/reset_fusionuser_password.sh -u nagiosadmin -p welcome

Note: If you would like to use special characters in your password, you should escape them with "\". For example, if you want to set your new password to be $new password#, then you can run:

-p \$new\ password\#
