Continuing the discussion from [Reset Elasticsearch Deployment Passsword using API](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reset-elasticsearch-deployment-passsword-using-api/185691/3):

Finally got time to implement this, but looks like authentication to a v0.1 endpoint is a bit different then to the v1.0 APIs in ECE.

As far as i can tell a bearer authentication token is required but how do i get such a token if i "only" have the admin user and pw for the elastic cloud enterprise cloudui / api.

Hi Stefan,  
you can send `{"username":"admin","password":"$PASSWORD"}` to `POST /api/v0.1/login`

Thanks a lot Yuri for pointing me into the right direction.
