Hello,

Firstly, as you are using Wazuh OVA, you can change the password for your machines system user wazuh-user from default password wazuh to any custom one just by running the passwd command in your OVA while logged in with wazuh-user and providing current and new password.
 
Secondly, to change the password for Wazuh indexer user (admin), you can follow the documentation here: https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/securing-wazuh/wazuh-indexer.html 

 
For changing the password, first you have to download the wazuh-passwords-tool.sh script:

curl -so wazuh-passwords-tool.sh https://packages.wazuh.com/4.3/wazuh-passwords-tool.sh

Then, run the following command:

bash wazuh-passwords-tool.sh -u admin -p <mypassword>

Please replace <mypassword> with your expected password for the user admin.

This documentation here also provides more information.

I hope this helps.

Running Wazuh OVA v4.7.2 on VirtualBox. Followed guidance from @Jeremiah above attempting to change admin password but run into an error. Here's the output from Terminal...

[wazuh-user@wazuh-server ~]$ sudo bash wazuh-passwords-tool.sh -u admin -p ••••••••••••••••••••

grep: /usr/share/wazuh-indexer/plugins/opensearch-security/securityconfig/internal_users.yml: No such file or directory

Can't find any other documentation related to making this change in the environment outlined above. Any assistance would be appreciated.
