Just start Elasticsearch. It is secured by default. So it will ask you for a password in Kibana.

The elastic password are provided when you installed elasticsearch in the console where you installed... you should have captured that. Its was there with the enrollment token etc.

If you did not capture that you will need to reset the elastic password...

See [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reset-password.html#_examples_8)

`bin/elasticsearch-reset-password -u elastic`
