Good afternoon! I have a distributed Wazuh installation. Wazuh indexer, wazuh server, and wazuh dashboard. To log in to the dashboard, I use the admin bundle:admin. But I want to change this password to another one. This cannot be done from the web interface, as far as I understand, I do it using the wazuh-passwords-tool script.sh and I get this error. What to do? P.S. I run the script on wazuh indexer

Hello Dev,

For a distributed instance, the Wazuh indexer users are meant to be changed on the wazuh indexer, so you are on the right track. You can refer to the documentation on doing this below and attached screenshot for reference:

You can run the command below to change the password. "The password must have a length between 8 and 64 characters and contain at least one upper and lowercase letter, a number, and a symbol (.*+?-)." 
Please use the -v (verbose output), which provides an additional level of detail when changing the password, and share if the issue persists.

/usr/share/wazuh-indexer/plugins/opensearch-security/tools/wazuh-passwords-tool.sh -u admin -p password-here

Please let me know if you require additional support on this.
