Elasticsearch does not prompt this screen, you need to check if you have anything else in front of Elasticsearch like a reverse proxy as NGINX.

The username might be `elastic` and you should be able to find the generated password from the logs I think.

Yes.

If you want a UI, install and start Kibana.

If you want everything up and running, secured and available in few minutes, just start a cluster on [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co). 😉
