Ok , then you don't need to run `setup-passwords` again. You have successfully installed X-Pack, you have set the passwords for your internal users, then you're good to go. To make authenticated requests to Elasticsearch you need to pass the `-u` parameter in curl , i.e.

```auto
 curl -X GET -u elastic "http://10.7.1.61:9200/"

```

and enter the password you had set once you are prompted
