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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/reset-password.html) 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.
