For installation of Splunk (UF or Enterprise) with version <=7.0 ,there is no default password "changeme".
Installer asks for password during installation.

How can I modify the below line in the script .

/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk edit user admin -password $PASSWORD -auth admin:changeme

 How the password can be mentioned during installation on Splunk version7.3.3.?I tried using -auth parameter but no luck.
