Hi Carly,

Thank you for your post; I followed [this suggestion](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-server-is-not-ready-yet-missing-authentication-credentials-for-rest-request/302249/3) in the post and my ELK stack is working now!

It feels rather counter-intuitive that I have to start the application **without** using admin rights command prompt, but oh well. Again, thank you very much for your suggestion.
