Default user and password not working

Post by rcanman »

Where should I look first for an issue where cacti is installed, http://hostname/cacti loads, but admin:admin returns invalid username/password?

FWIW, new install on Raspberry Pi 3.

The default is normally admin, admin. However, some installations, such as Debian do replace this with a dynamically generated username/password that they then store elsewhere. For Debian, this is /etc/mysql/debian.cnf as the same password that is generated for MySQL is also used for Cacti.

Interesting. I got it to work with admin/[mysql root password]. Thanks
