Thank you for the 'how to find your passwd' file... that really helped me. – dna Aug 01 '18 at 12:25

I found the answer

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

Enter a strong password when prompted.

Note the -c replaces all existing passwords. To simply update an existing one (without affecting others):

sudo htpasswd /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

Note the -c _replaces_ all existing passwords. To simply update an existing one (_without_ affecting others) `sudo htpasswd /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin` – gerardw Jan 29 '17 at 15:10

Use this command:

htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

It will ask for new password.
