I have set the Elasticsearch inbuilt users using interactive method. Now i missed the password of kibana\_system user. Is there a way to reset that particular user alone?

I tried with `bin/elasticsearch-reset-password -u kibana_system` but it fails with version 7.10.

when i try the below command  
`curl -X POST "localhost:9200/_security/user/kibana_system/_password?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' `

getting this response  
`curl: (52) Empty reply from server`
