hi,
yesterday i downloaded your app and install it on my pc desktop, after the registration procedure at the first startup of the app i pressed "First time signing in?" in order to login.

This morning im not able to login to my account despite im able to login into the web site:
http://www.splunk.com/?redirecturl=/

Could you help me ?

best regards
Jonathan

Are you talking about logging into the locally installed Splunk instance? In that case, you could try with the default username/password, which is admin/changeme

This authentication is in no way related to your account at splunk.com or Splunk Answers.

you should probably start with reading up on some of the documentation;
