Problem in signing into splunk

[Jananee_iNautix]

Hi,

There is some problem in logging into splunk 5.0 ,installed in my machine.I am not sure if the username and password which was given is correct.Is there any option in splunk to reset the password.

Hi Jananee_iNautix,

you can move the file $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd to a new directory and restart splunk. This will reset your admin's password to the default one. If there are any other users in the old passwd file, copy them after the restart into the new $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwdfile and restart splunk again.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
