I downloaded and installed Windows version of Splunk. But its not accepting my login ID and Password. What should I do?
not accepting the default login and password, admin/changeme
what do I do now?
@isiddiqui004, even after steps form the answer link posted above?
I witnessed the same where someone installed 7.0.x and couldn’t reset admin pw by removing passwd and restarting. I didn’t have much time to diagnose and recommended a reinstall.
It wasn’t recreating the passwd file. It was windows as well.
Which version did you install?
One more thing..this is Windows PC 64bit..not a Linux install.
@isiddiqui004, have you changed the default credentials i.e. admin/changeme
? If you have and forgotten the same you can refer to the following answer to reset your password

If this is for personal use, you can always re-install 🙂
