Hi @Murilo_Livorato

It is unclear what version you are using...

and it is hard for us to help when you are using someone else's docker instructions.

But in short the password for the `kibana_system` user that you have you your .env file is wrong.

You can exec into the elasticsearch docker container and change / set it using

> **[elasticsearch-reset-password | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reset-password.html)**

Then set it correctly in your .env file
