Hi,
I have just installed zoneminder on a machine with a 4 port card, had issues to start off with but sorted them out.(wrong format).
I ticked the option in options on the webbased interface to make it protected.
I thought the default username and password was 'admin', which i got from the doc'o
any help with what the default password is for the web site?
....I couldn't find any instructions also to changing default passwords e.g. mysql etc. If that is too much to ask for, just a simple default password would do.
I will be defintly donating to this project!
ZoneMinder Login - web login defaults not working
You are correct that the default login is admin:admin
There is a bug in the session handling that prevents login if you enter the username or password incorrectly the first time. In other words, trying again to correct the characters in the username/ password fields of the login screen will fail ( at least in firefox on the livecd system. Not sure about other browsers) If you close firefox and restart it you should be able to login with the defaults.
You can turn authentication off by running "perl zmconfig.pl" in the /usr/src/zm-1.19.5/ dir.
You can examine the database using phpMyAdmin to check that the password is still the default. Go to http://localhost/admin/phpMyAdmin/
Login with root : mko0nji9
Select the zm database then you can browse the users table. The admin password is stored as a hash and should be "7e8b2b9345a41ff3".
I really cannot imagine how it could be set to anything other than default, but in any case I hope this will get you going.
Best regards,
Ross

This might help someone.
Used ZM 1.23.3, I found that on the first login, I entered Admin (instead of admin) by accident. It would not login.
I then could not log in, using any username or passwords, (the correct ones) and they were verified as being correct by viewing the mysql database directly.
The fix was to change the Username in the Users table in the zm database, to "Admin" (note the capital A) and everything worked fine from there.
It seems the username was stuck on Admin, regardless of what I entered in the field on the web.
Cheers!
