Hi @wsdevprogrammer

Welcome to the community!

The username is `elastic` and the password was displayed when you installed.

What version did you install?

If it is a newer version and you do not know the password you will need to reset it see [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reset-password.html#_examples_8)
