Error 401

[Keith_Sanks]

running the following command:
curl -XGET http://elastic:changme@127.0.0.1:9200/bro-/_search?q= -d '
{
"sort": [{
"@timestamp": {
"order": "desc"
}
},
{
"_score": {
"order": "desc"
}
}
],
"size": 1
}
' | jq
I get the following returned:

I see that it is error 401, I haven't changed the default password, no data will get sent to elasticsearch because of this.
I've tried the following command but it doesn't seem to work:
curl -XPUT -u elastic 'localhost:9200/_xpack/security/user/elastic/_password' -d '{
"password" : "changeme"
}'
