What is the default user and password for Elasticsearch 7.8.0?

What's is the default username and password for Elasticsearch 7.8.0? It's asking this on 9200 port. Tried these (username pass):

  • elastic [no pass]
  • elastic elastic
  • without entering anything
  • elastic changeme
  • elastic password
  • user password

OS: Windows 10 x64, installed ES with MSI installer from its website.

yml file:

bootstrap.memory_lock: false
cluster.name: elasticsearch
http.port: 9200
node.data: true
node.ingest: true
node.master: true
node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
node.name: LAPTOP-1C4GVFSU
path.data: C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\data
path.logs: C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\logs
transport.tcp.port: 9300
xpack.license.self_generated.type: basic
xpack.security.enabled: true

username pass C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\7.8.0 C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\7.8.0\bin

Solution

  • Somehow default username password isn't working. I had to set the password on CMD by

    bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive

bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto

    The interactive parameter prompts new password for the users, whereas auto generates them for you.
