curl -uelastic -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/\_xpack/license/start\_basic](http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license/start_basic)'  
Enter host password for user 'elastic':

I was equested to enter 'elastic' user.  
I dont have such user .....

this is because you specified `-uelastic` when running the curl command.

This is not an Operating system user, this is an Elasticsearch user.

What version is this? You were running with trial license before, did you enable security ? Have you set the passwords for the built in user ?
