Since it is part of our public documentation, I will just put the link here. Sorry if I am just not seeing the feature that allows sending personal messages. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/setting-up-authentication.html#built-in-users](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/setting-up-authentication.html#built-in-users) After installing X-Pack you get these default users. You MUST change those passwords ASAP after the install. ---

"Management \> Users UI in Kibana" refers to this page in Kibana: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/a/a2beaa1fb2a11dd3768129380853c870bbd97923.png) Click Management on the left-side navigation bar, then click "Users" which is under the "Elasticsearch" section, then click one of the users to find the "Change Password" button. ---

Did you install X-Pack into Kibana using the Kibana installer as well? `bin/kibana-plugin install x-pack` [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html) ---

I was able to figure out the issue. Turns out McAfee was blocking the install. So to avoid above error disable McAfee before install. Thanks ---
