And if you delete it, you will have to recreate it using the correct capabilities.</P> Sat, 01 Sep 2012 17:30:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49182#M1613 yannK 2012-09-01T17:30:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49183#M1614 <P>Thanks yannK. I see the role (can_delete) but I also have a user, 'delete_admin', that has the role 'can_delete'. It sounds like it may be something that was created during install? If that is the case, my guess would be it has a default password of some sort, which would be a good idea to reset. Any ideas?</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:22:05 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49183#M1614 naydenk 2020-09-28T12:22:05Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49184#M1615 <P>The user <CODE>delete_admin</CODE> was not created during installation. Only the user <CODE>admin</CODE> is created during installation. Therefore, <CODE>delete_admin</CODE> does not have a default password. You can reset it using the Manager GUI.</P> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:09:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49184#M1615 lguinn2 2012-09-02T16:09:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49185#M1616 <P>OK, thank you!</P> Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:12:18 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/What-is-the-default-password-for-the-delete-admin-user/m-p/49185#M1616 naydenk 2012-09-02T17:12:18Z
