---> "Couldn't complete HTTP request: Connection reset by peer error"
Your help would be much apprecaited
Hi @splunkis0927
try this
splunk edit user <username> -auth admin:<admin_password> -password <password>
Ex:
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk edit user admin -auth admin:changeme -password new_passowrd
looks still the same .
is this SSL related issue ?

I used same command , I am able to update password in splunk 9.0.1
