Hi

The easiest way:

  • uninstall it
  • remove all files 
  • install it again and ensure which user and password you will give 

Another way:

  • splunk stop
  • create $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/user-seed.conf with content

 

[user_info]
USERNAME = admin
PASSWORD = TheNewPassword123

 

  • splunk start
