If no users exist that means that the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd file is missing.  To create a new admin user, you can use user-seed.conf and it is very easy.   Just double check your steps here:

# If the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd file is present,
the settings in this file (user-seed.conf) are not used

@PickleRick 
No passwd file is generating after restarting of the Splunk.

As @PickleRick said you cannot have .../<SPLUNK_HOME>/etc/passwd file. If you have then you could use e.g.

Create admin credentials for automated installations with the 'hash-passwd' CLI command

to generate hashed password and add/change it into passwd file as already proposed.

Did you restart your splunk instance?

[LogUx]

@PickleRick Yes I have restarted

To be fully honest, if you already have a working installation, I would just edit etc/passwd manually and insert a hashed password there.

But if you don't have etc/passwd and it's not getting created from user-seed.conf - there must be something wrong. Check the splunkd.log for errors. Permission issues?

@PickleRick & @isoutamo  It has been fixed. I was used to save the seed file as user-seed.conf. So when I restarted the Splunk it saved as user-seed.conf.conf. So I corrected and saved the file only as user-seed and gives the results as user-seed.conf and generated the passwd  file also.
