Change admin password and create users

[sv1c0m]

Hi, I deployed wazuh using ova file and I would want to change the default password. I saw in the documentation that I must to use wazuh-passwords-tool.sh file to change it, but then I don't know which configuration must change to set the new password in all of components of wazuh.

The other dude that I have is how can I  create a new user, I tried to create it but then I can't logon the wazuh dashboards.

Thank you.

Hi sv1c0m, Thanks for using wazuh.
 guess you have followed this ( https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/securing-wazuh/wazuh-indexer.html#change-the-wazuh-indexer-passwords ) tutorial. If that execution went well then you may need to change the password in /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml and /etc/kibana/kibana.yml and restart them after the changes.
If those changes doesn't help you out please check the status of the Kibana, Elasticsearch and Filebeat services in case any of them is down and check the output of journalctl -u kibana -r to see if there are any error messages.

There's a guide for creating users (https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/wazuh-dashboard/rbac.html#wazuh-rbac-how-to-create-and-map-internal-users ) but that wont help you if you cannot login to the dashboard. Can you tell me which errors are you getting trying to achieve that? which versions are you using and in what os?

Have a great day!
