editYou 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.
-
From the Deployments page, select your deployment.
Narrow the list by name, ID, or choose from several other filters. To further define the list, use a combination of filters.
- From your deployment menu, select Security.
- Select 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.
