Hello there,  
I'm having an issue doing the setup of the version 8.7.1, (http:// localhost:9200/) this link requires a password to which the default USERNAME('elastic') and PASSWORD('changeme') is not working or giving any sort of response the webpage continues to load. Due to which the complete installation is pending and the application, cannot find any dedicated solution for issue.  
hoping for the resolution

During the installation of Elasticsearch, the password created by this application is displayed. You need to save it to use it when accessing Kibana.

Are you using the stack through a docker container? If yes, there should be an .env file, which you add the password that will be used.

In any case, here is a link to a project where you can find all the solutions that make up Elastic Security through a docker container:

> **[The Elastic Container Project for Security Research — Elastic Security Labs](https://www.elastic.co/pt/security-labs/the-elastic-container-project)**
>
> The Elastic Container Project provides a single shell script that will allow you to stand up and manage an entire Elastic Stack using Docker. This open source project enables rapid deployment for testing use cases.
