What are the default login credentials on fresh install of cacti on ubuntu 18.04?

What I did:

1. Installed Ubuntu server 18.04 in a VM inside ESXi.
2. Enabled the Multiverse repo.
3. Ran apt update && apt upgrade && apt install cacti.
4. Visited of vm]/cacti.
5. Tried to login with admin/admin which is the only set of default cacti credentials I've been able to google.

"Invalid User Name/Password Please Retype"

At no point during the installation was I asked to create any password apart from the password for cacti MySQL DB and thus I assumed the default credentials would work.

I ran into the same issue with cacti. Found a posting to try using user 'admin' with the mysql root password. That worked for me.

In case anyone else runs into this, the password can be found in the /etc/cacti/debian.php file:

$ grep "^\$database_password" /etc/cacti/debian.php
