if you are using browser try elastic:changeme@localhost:9200, if on curl curl -XPUT -u elastic:changeme 'localhost:9200' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' — jaspreet chahal

i have found the solution :

just run the command bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto -u "http://localhost:9200" on cmd and passwords will be regenerated and printed in the console.
