are you an admin? if so follow this:
To reset the admin password:
1. Move the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd file to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd.bak.
2. Restart Splunk. After the restart you should be able to login using the default login (admin/changeme).
if you are a user, ask your admin to reset your password

Hi,

I have tried the above suggestion. I guess I need administrator to make the changes.
That's the challenge!
