Unable to login to splunk with default password of admin / changeme. it says:

You can also replace your license file @ C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\licenses\enterprise with the new .license file you have just received from Splunk.  

Restart Splunkd

If you are unable to remember the password for the admin user, you could try moving the passwd file out of the way and restart the Splunk service to have it reset back to the default.

It should be under:

$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\passwd
