Hello i'am new with elastic stack.

I followed this documentation bellow in order to enable security, i set a password with only number.

> **[Set up minimal security for Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.12\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.12/security-minimal-setup.html)**

I found the problem when i wanted to login in kibana .  
[image|690x33](https://discuss.elastic.co/uploads/short-url/6ddTGgW3MT9jdgfmc4iN1ojgyUr.png)

This is the error message.  
Now i want to disable the security so i can work normally, or if there is some method which allow me change the password.

It looks like you may need to put quotes around your password value in the config, but if you posted your config we could confirm this.

I already set the password without quotes, and the command I used is for one use only .

this is the command :

./bin/Elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive
