I also tried to reset the password for Kibana based on this post:
I lost the password that has been changed
I am getting this error for both users Elastic and Kibana.
[root@jcpvirtualserver-new ~]# curl -u elastic:1QdjDELm7ITSikVh -XPUT -k 'https://localhost:9200/_xpack/security/user/elastic/_password?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "password" : "janssenelastic" } '
{
"error" : {

Is there any other way to authenticate the built-in users?
