Forget vault root token

Have you set-up TLS/certificates on your Vault server? If not, I’d try going to port 80/tcp (HTTP) instead. That is:

http://127.0.0.1/...

You can set an environment variable for convenience instead:

$ export VAULT_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:8200

OR

$ export VAULT_ADDR=http://localhost:8200
