whenever i type ./Elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto then it gives me an error like this

```auto
Enter password for the elasticsearch keystore : 

Failed to authenticate user 'elastic' against http://127.0.0.1:9200/_security/_authenticate?pretty
Possible causes include:
 * The password for the 'elastic' user has already been changed on this cluster
 * Your elasticsearch node is running against a different keystore
   This tool used the keystore at /home/harsh/Downloads/elasticsearch-7.16.3/config/elasticsearch.keystore

```
