According to the rpm spec file a user called hobbit is created, but no password is assigned to it. Some password would need to be assigned in order for the account to work, so I would have to guess that that was done.
If Hobbit was installed from source, the same rationale applies. A 'hobbit' (maybe) user was created and a password was assigned.

I will be in front of the machine sometime this week so I may be surprised to find it logged in where I will have cmd line access...taking a shot in the dark here but what would be the default credentials after a virgin install? Maybe they never got around to changing it. Thanks.

Fixing that would be easy, if you have command line access to the machine. If not, you may be stuck. So can you telnet, ssh, scp or rlogin at all?
If they set up any other machines (like Hobbit clients) try the hobbit user passwords from those systems.

The only thing that Hobbit requires a login for is certain administrative functions, like enabling and disabling tests. Is that what you are referring to? Or is it access to the machine that Hobbit
is running on?

Hello,
I had a consulting firm setup Hobbit monitoring for my company and they literally closed down business over night without giving me the login id and password. Is there any way you may be able to help me regain administration access?
Thank you.
