Hi,  
I have installed x-pack plugins for elasticsearch and kibana. Now as per documentation, I am trying to setup the passwords for standard users e.g. elastic, kibana. However I don't see that command (setup-passwords) in respective folder. Am I missing something?  
I am using ES 7.0.0  
Os Window 10

Could you install 7.7.1 instead of an old 7.0.0 version?  
And with the default distribution you don't need to install any specific plugin.
