Reset cmkadmin password

I have a new clean install of 2.0.0p9. I logged in once and then got busy and left it for a couple days. I forgot the random password created during setup.

What is the easiest way to either recover or reset the cmkadmin password?

With ssh/shell-access to the monitoring-server you can do the following: Switch to the site-user and issue the following command:

htpasswd -m etc/htpasswd cmkadmin

Then you will be asked to set a new password for the user cmkadmin.
This process is also described in the docs: Users, roles and permissions - Authorization and user configuration

Sorry I realize this is basic. I was able to reset the password.

Google led me to a lot of pages but none of them were the link you provided so thank you!
