Xpack Kibana username Password not accepting . Login Failure

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I have working ELK 5.3.0 and Xpack5.3.0 successfully installed in Elasticsearch plugin and Kibana plugin.

If Elastic search login disabled in kibana.yml , kibana asking for username and password in localhost:5601. But username password is not accepting .

If Elastic search login enabling in kibana.yml , ./kibana not successfully load. error messages showing. localhost:5601 is not loading

When I am enabling

Case 1) elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
elasticsearch.password: "kibanapassword" in kibana.yml
Tried this username password as per the tutorial: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.0/installing-xpack-kb.html

Case 2) elasticsearch.username: "abcdefgh"
elasticsearch.password: "123xyz" in kibana.yml
My actual kibana user in kibana installed centos server is "abcdefgh" and password is "123xyz".

Below showing error happening.

But Login Not success:

and localhost:5601 loaded kibana login page and asking for username and password

But login is not a success. Tires passwords are

case 1) username : kibana and password : kibanapassword ( Elasticsearch login disabled in kibana.yml )
case 2) username : abcdefgh and password : 123xyz ( Elasticsearch login disabled in kibana.yml )

You are trying to follow the instructions for 6.0, but you are running 5.3

You need to read and follow the instructions for your version of Elasticsearch and Kibana.
