I have installed x-pack on kibana and elasticsearch. Elasticsearch works fine but on the kibana i can not log in. This picture shows the condition:
I have changed my password and updated the kibana.yml file with the new password. The log is:

Has anybody experienced the same problem? Also i can not find the xpack.security.enabled in my kibana.yml so technically i can not turn off the security of x-pack.
Thanks very much everyone.

Hi @hoangkhac
As @TimV mentioned in [your other post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-yml-does-not-contain-any-x-pack/110232/2) you can add the necessary options `xpack.security.enabled: false` in your kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml yourself.
Regarding your main issue now, it looks like Kibana can't connect to Elasticsearch

Verify that the credentials you have set in kibana.yml are correct
```
> elasticsearch.username:
> elasticsearch.password:
```
You can verify the correctness of the credentials by attempting to authenticate to Elasticsearch yourself with those
`curl -XGET http://localhost:9200 -u `
replacing with what you have in kibana.yml
