default username in Elastic cloud (kibana) and how to find a password

Question

I'm trying out the Elastic Cloud 14 days free trial.

I deployed Elastic cloud following the video tutorial. I set my password. However, I don't remember putting in my username. I tried my email account, which I used to confirm. I tried my IP address, cloud ID given in my cloud.elastic.co site. I went through account and profile tab but couldn't find anything. I searched for default username, but some site mentioned 'kibana' but that didn't work either. I am very embarrassed, but I only have 14 days to try it out, so if anyone has used or has been using this, could you help me with this?

Where else should I look for username? I didn't set my username at all. What is the default username if any?

I modified the question a little bit.

Answer 1

It took me more than half an hour to figure this out, so hope this will save your time.

So the default user name is elastic. (Thank you Val, you are right!) That is the superuser.

However, my password didn't work. So the password I set earlier was for something else. I had to find a password. From my deployment menu, go to Security and reset the password and copy it and use it to log in. I attached two screenshots to help you understand.

Answer 2

I faced this situation when playing with elk stack in docker

Default username was: elastic. I could not figure out the password but was able to reset it.

What I did:

• entered elastic container docker exec -it name_of_elastic_container bash
• reset password bin/elasticsearch-reset-password -u elastic -i
