@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.

got it, you might be using your splunk.com username and password. That won't work

Below will work

username: admin
password: changeme
