<p>Before you can follow the step described in the video, you'll need to first login to the system with the following credentials:</p>
<p>Username: <strong>root</strong></p>
<p>Password: <strong>nagiosxi</strong></p>

<p> </p>
<p>To change the root password after you've logged in, use the 'password' command:</p>
<p><strong>passwd</strong></p>
<p>To change the MySQL root password, use the 'mysqladmin' command as shown below. Replace NEWPASSWORD with the new password of your choosing.</p>
<p><strong>mysqladmin -u root -p'nagiosxi' password </strong><strong>NEWPASSWORD</strong></p>
<p>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:</p>
<p><strong>nano /root/scripts/automysqlbackup</strong></p>
<p>To get the IP address of the virtual machine, run the following command:</p>

<p><strong>ifconfig</strong></p>
