@rameshren, due to the change in the installation of 7.1, you would have been prompted for User ID/Password during the installation.

You can try re-installing and ensure to make note of ID Password set during installation.

If you want to reset your Password in the existing installation refer to the following Splunk Answers thread: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/834/how-to-reset-the-admin-password.html

Are you using admin login on a test instance?
If so, you can try this

If you are not an admin for your instance, you have to reach out to your administrator.
