Hi,
I just downloaded splunk-7.1.1 for Win64.
I'm trying to login with "admin" and "changeme" as credentials but getting error.

Thanks for your support.

when you installed it it should have prompted you for a password in the installation wizard. use admin as username and the password you entered in the installation wizard
