Why can't I log-in to Splunk Enterprise?

[acollins21]

Hi,

I am doing the Splunk Fundamentals 1 course and I need to use Splunk Enterprise for the lab work in module 3. I downloaded the application, installed it and chose an admin password. But when I try to log-in, it won't accept the password I chose.

Can someone please help me with this issue?

Thanks.

For Splunk Enterprise 7.2 trial installations:

• On Mac/Linux, you choose both a user name and a password during installation.
• On Windows, your user name will be admin and the installer will ask you to create a password.

The login you create for splunk.com is entirely separate.

You need to use password that you provided while installing Splunk and Username as admin.

This solved the problem, I was using my username from when I created my account.

Thank you!
