LOGON Issue after applying STIG

Hi,

After applying STIG settings, I am no longer able to logon to the web console using AD or local admin account. I tried 1). renamed passwd file in etc folder and restarted Splunk service, 2) renamed passwd file in etc folder and created user-seed.conf file in etc\system\local folder but I still can't logon.  Anyone has this issue and know how to fix it?  One of the STIG requires me to set the password complexity and lockout and change the permission on Splunk.

Thanks in advance!
