Hi, you are using a wrong URL, try:

PUT _security/user/UserName/_password
{
"password" : "s3cr3t"
}

Best,

as you told me to do

PUT _security/user/elastic/_password
{
"password" : "s3cr3t"
}

but no success

{
  "error": "no handler found for uri [/_security/user/elastic/_password?pretty] and method [PUT]"
}

could you try POST? Or another User? If tested it with a "normal" User and for me it works.

but my usecase is to change the passoword for elastic [superuser] using kibana dev-tool .
because my application deployed in production.

Hi @Dragon9,
i tested it now on a test system and the elastic user, it worked.
Please use:

POST /_security/user/elastic/_password
{
"password" : "YourPassword"
}

and post the response, if the response is { }, all is fine and the password is changed.
