editFor version 5.0 and later: You might need to reset the password for the elastic
superuser if you cannot authenticate with the elastic
user ID and are effectively locked out from a cluster.
To reset the password:
- Log into the Cloud UI.
-
On the Clusters page, select the cluster where you need to reset the password for the
elastic
user and go to the Security tab. - Click Reset password.
-
Copy down the auto-generated password for the
elastic
user.
The password is hashed after you leave this pane, so if you lose it, you need to reset the password again.
