I solved this.  
After resetting passwords in elasticsearch, I restarted Logstash, Kibana, Elasticsearch.  
But I still got this error.  
Then I generated the new keys like here: [kibana encryption keys](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.5/kibana-encryption-keys.html)

Command:  
`./bin/kibana-encryprion-keys generate --force`

I copied newly generated keys to

```auto
xpack.security.encryptionKey: "myKey"
xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey: "myEncKey"
xpack.reporting.encryptionKey: "my2EncKey"

```

Then I solve the Encryption API Key Problem here: [encryption API](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-errors-after-changing-encryptionkey-failed-to-decrypt-apikey-attribute-unsupported-state-or-unable-to-authenticate-data/344492)
