If this is the first install, it will run a setup autoconfiguration and print the password and some information before finishing the installation.

If it is not the first install or you didn't copy the password that was print out in the screen you will need to reset it if you do not remember.

You may use the elasticsearch-reset-password to reset it.

Why are you reseting the kibana_system user if your issue was with the elastic user?

Did you run it with sudo or sudo -u elasticsearch? You need to.

Try to run with the option -v to show more information about why it could not reset the password.
