Changing Initial Virtual Machine Credentials

Before you can follow the step described in the video, you'll need to first login to the system with the following credentials:

Username: root

Password: nagiosxi

To change the root password after you've logged in, use the 'password' command:

passwd

To change the MySQL root password, use the 'mysqladmin' command as shown below. Replace NEWPASSWORD with the new password of your choosing.

mysqladmin -u root -p'nagiosxi' password NEWPASSWORD

You'll need to update the MySQL backup script with the new MySQL root password you chose. The backup script can be edited with the following command:

nano /root/scripts/automysqlbackup

To get the IP address of the virtual machine, run the following command:

ifconfig
