initial admin password fails

I can't login to the admin account for the first time.

I tried blank, and the zabbiz user password, etc.

Mysql shows that Admin is an alias for the Zabbix account, and it has a password (but since it is encrypted, I can't tell what it is - if if it is non-blank).

I am on Ubuntu Linux, and Debian had a bug report for this initial login problem last year, but allegedly it was fixed.

Any hints on how to proceed?

mysql> select userid, name, surname, passwd from users;
+--------+---------+--------------+-----------------------+
| userid | name | surname | passwd |
+--------+---------+--------------+-----------------------+
| 1 | Zabbix | Administrator | |
| 2 | Default | User | d41d8cd9... |
+--------+---------+--------------+-----------------------+

Mine matched the manual - admin/zabbix.

initial login to zabbix...

??"[as in] the manual" -
the documentation I have seen says:
"Log in with username: admin with No Password"

http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/zabbix.htm

In any case, none of these worked for me.

Again, there was a Debian bug report on this, but allegedly it was fixed.

Humm, I thought I saw it in the pdf manual I got from the zabbix.com site but maybe I found it here in the forums. Either way, the default for mine was admin and zabbix. It may be different depending on where you got the install files, I used the gz file from the web site, not using apt-get or anything like that (which probably would have been much easier!)

I know almost zero about mysql, you can probably access those user accounts directly if you know enough about it and maybe clear out the password field so you can log in and reset it.

Good luck!

zabbix initial login.

Thanks for the note - yes, I used apt-get to install, and as noted as of a few months ago it was broken, maybe still is - I'll contact that Debian package provider.

I did try to manually reset the password in the zabbix.users table, but didn't get it to work. I was of course making assumptions about how it stores passwords, and how it uses them - but it seemed logical, although wrong! :-)

I tried setting the admin passwd to both PASSWORD(''), and just '', both seem to give the same result, and neither allows ne to login with admin/(nothing).

mysql> select userid, alias, name, passwd from users;
+--------+-------+---------+----------------------------------+
| userid | alias | name | passwd |
+--------+-------+---------+----------------------------------+
| 1 | Admin | Zabbix | |
| 2 | guest | Default | d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e |
+--------+-------+---------+----------------------------------+

It is curious to me that the name in mysql is Admin, and the documentation (and web page) say to use "admin".
[I tried both.]

[Kerrygeek]

Ok, so that looks like yours really is admin with no password. Here's what I get when I set mine to admin/zabbix and run the same query you did:

1 | Admin | Zabbix | 5fce1b3e34b520afeffb37ce08c7cd66

I don't know if you can put that hash in through mysql and use admin/zabbix, I don't know how the authentication works and if it would be different on every installation but that's what mine looks like if I set it to admin/zabbix.

You might want to search the forums if you haven't already done it (I assume you have) because I think I've seen other people have this problem.

You guys were right, the pdf manual said admin with no password so I must have found the other combination in the forum, I had to look it up when I first set up my demo server several months ago.

Sorry I'm not much help, if using that hash doesn't get you in with admin/zabbix you'll have to rattle somebody's cage who knows zabbix better than I do - shouldn't be hard to do!

The admin/zabbix combo is in the PDF.

@guthrie, it looks like you may have a Debian centric problem. The Debian devs always like to do things a little differently. ;-) You may have to put an enctrypted password into the passwords table.

I don't know which function is used but if the encrypt function is the right one you would do something similar to the following

update users set passwd=encrypt('My_New_Password') where alias='Admin';

Might be a bit late for the OP, but for anyone else finding this thread...
You can reset your Zabbix admin password from MySQL thus:

USE zabbix;
UPDATE users SET passwd=md5('newpassword') WHERE alias='Admin';

Answer

For Zabbix 1.6.x user name - Admin
Password = zabbix

Thanks, just moving off the virtual appliance with Zabbix 2.0.1 and migrated the DB accordingly, only to realise the passwords needed resetting because of the encryption. Couldn't find how to do this through MySQL in the Zabbix manual so this really helped.

Thanks for that, very useful

uppercase "A" in Admin

I've had the same problem with Zabbix/Debian. In the end my problem was the capital "A" of "Admin" user (I was typing "admin" instead of "Admin"). "zabbix" was the default password. Debian 6 here.

Documentation error

I downloaded an appliance and the login to the frontend is "Admin / zabbix". at the documentation say it is "admin/zabbix". I tiny error that causes big problems!!
