First, you need to set bootstrap.password in the Keystore before starting Elasticsearch. (If you`re using docker, there is an env variable for this purpose too.)

Afterward, you can use the elastic user and the previously set bootstrap.password in order to update the build-in user's password via the REST-Api. This approach is also described here.

Consider also changing the password for the build-in elastic user.
