I've been searching but can't seem to find an answer.

When accessing the web GUI on my fresh Splunk 5.0.2 install I'm not getting a prompt for the username and password to log in. Just the splunk logo

I'd appreciate the help

I've tried this on a freshly installed VMs for Windows 2003, Windows 2008, and Windows XP all are showing the same thing. On occasion I will get the initial login prompt asking me to change the inital password but after logging out or closing the browser it wont prompt for username and password again. I see the same thing regardless of what browser or what client system I try to connect on.

I don't see this issue when I have splunk running on a windows 8 laptop I tested it on there it seems to work fine.
