To reset the admin password you will need to have access to the file system:
- move/rename the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd file to passwd.bak
- restart splunk. After the restart you should be able to login using the default login (admin/changeme).

Hi rameshren what version of Splunk do you have? It could be possible that you are using the new release with a default password policy.
