      Any errors in the logs? What username are you using?

      Maybe try stopping the service from Status > Services and then set the password one more time, see if it starts up OK after that.

        Tried with no luck. Nothing unusual in the log files.

          I have the same issue, tried restarting pfSense box, reinstalling (deleting all data and settings) ntopng but that didn't help.
          The service is running, I have no idea what to do next.

          Cor.

            What happens if you stop the service and then try to start it by hand from the command line, do you see any errors? Use /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh start

              No errors when stopping and starting the service from the shell.

                Did you try to use a different browser?

                    You say there are no errors when you try to login, does the color outline on the login form fields change?

                    If you provide a user/pass combination it doesn't recognize, it should at least turn red to indicate a failure.

                    Also make sure you are using the username admin (all lower case), that's what it always uses, no matter what username you normally login to the GUI with.

                      Also, look in /var/db/ntopng/ntopng.log for any errors.

                      If all else fails, remove the package and then run:

                      # rm -rf /var/db/ntopng/ /var/db/redis/
                      

                      And then reinstall it again.

                        Outline of the fields doesn't not change. I am using "admin" as a username, I have set the password in the ntopng settings page several times

                        27/Dec/2018 10:24:02 [Mutex.cpp:46] WARNING: pthread_mutex_lock() returned 11 [Resource deadlock avoided][errno=0]
                        

                        I see the above in the /var/db/ntopng/ntopng.log whenever I "stop" ntopng the service

                          Is it running more than once, perhaps? Check the output of ps uxaww and see if you see ntopng and redis running, and if they are running more than once.

                            Only see 1 ntopng and 1 redis-server in the list.

                              I also can find no errors in the logs and nothing special when I start the service from the shell.
                              I have uninstalled ntopng and deleted /var/db/ntopng/ /var/db/redis/
                              After that I installed it again, but I still can't login.

                              I do notice that when I try to login I see the ntopng Desktop for a fraction of a second and than the login screen comes up again. I'm sure I use the correct credentials.

                                Do you maybe have some kind of ad/script blocking browser plugin in all the browsers you have tried? Or some kind of AV that might be interfering?

                                  Just tried from another PC that does not have AV installed at all. It is pretty much a clean install of Windows 7. However I am noticing now that the Username and Password boxes are changing to Red after a few seconds. So I went back to the WebGUI to change the password and tried to log into ntopng again. Still changes to RED after a few seconds. Is it possible the at the password is not getting changed?

                                    I just tried opening the page in Firefox and it works. I suppose I should have tried this earlier, sorry.
                                    I'll try to find out what is blocking the page in Vivaldi

                                    Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction.

                                      @MMTadmin , are you by chance running with /var file system in memory? Also, have you tried admin/admin as credentials after a reboot?

                                          I have the same issue here. I can't login with Chrome, but with Firefox no problems.

                                            I've had same issue.
                                            So I've done rm -r ... tip and reinstalled ntop, and now I can login.
                                            But when I'm trying to set password with pfsense GUI it doesn't change. It's always admin/admin.
