If you cannot create additional users in the community edition,
you will need to change your nxadmin password. You should be able to do this by
clicking on your nxadmin username in the upper-right corner of the screen,
right below the ‘Log Out’ button.

 

As for requirements, I believe the problem only lies with the
special characters, so keep the password to letters and numbers (both upper and
lower case is fine)

 

Thanks,

Errol

Does your NeXpose password contain special characters? I have
seen this before and creating a separate user in NeXpose for Metasploit without
the use of special characters in your password helped solve the problem. Let us
know if your password doesn’t even contain special characters
though…

 

Thanks,

Errol
