Unable to connect to splunk enterprise AMI with default username and password

Hi y’all. I recently installed splunk enterprise AMI instance in EC2. Unfortunately, I am unable to access with the default credentials. I am getting ‘Server Error’. I am using the latest version. So, I am assuming below are the credentials.

Username: admin

Password: SPLUNK-<instance-id>

I tried with just instance Id too but I am always seeing ‘server error’. I also tried terminating and launching a new one. Didn’t work. I also tried SSHing into EC2 instance and change password. I don’t have access as ec2 user.


Any help with this is huglely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
