How can I reset the admin password for the Windows 7 version?

[julivt]

Hi, how can I reset the admin password of Splunk Enterprise 6 trial version that was installed in a computer running Windows 7 operating system?

I installed the application and worked fine. Later, I tried to access it and didn't recognize the password I had set.

Can you please advise?
Thanks.

To reset the Splunk to use default credential (admin/changeme), you would need to login to your windows 7 machine, using local administrator account. Then go to SplunkInstallDir->etc. You should see a file called passwd. Keep a backup of this file and then delete it. (this file contains all the credentials/users, which you may required to restore if you have created additional users). Then restart the splunk. This should allow you to log in using admin/changeme credentials.
