Installing Splunk

[Katorey]

I was wondering if someone could help me reset my password. I need to login to do my labs to take the cert soon please and thank you.

Do you have access the the CLI of this Splunk instance? If so, you can reset the password:

• Stop splunk service
• Move the $SPLUNKHOME/etc/passwd file to $SPLUNKHOME/etc/passwd.bak
• Start Splunk. After the restart you should be able to login using the default login (admin/changeme).

If this is a training provided instance, contact your instructor.

No one here can help you with that. Send email to education_amer@splunk.com for assistance.

Thank you for that email but they weren't able to help me neither.
