Do you mean that you're trying to login to Kibana using `kibana_system`? If so, that is not correct.  
`kibana_system` is used to _run_ Kibana - it's how Kibana itself authenticates to Elasticsearch.

For your first login to Kibana you should use the `elastic` user, and then use that to create additional users as necessary for you and your team.
