3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?

Tried multiple passwords. Tried restarting the service and the machine.

Hello @majuscule

If possible and as you are running so such an old version of Graylog and Elastic, I would suggest you rebuild one more time but with Graylog version 6 and Opensearch version 2.12.

Check if the issue persists and if so post back here.

Hello @majuscule

I installed version 6 on docker and the initial admin password is generated when the server starts and appears in the logs.
Maybe it’s the same principle for your installation.
