Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):OpenSearch 3.3.2

Describe the issue:Hi everyone,

I’m trying to change the password for the internal kibanaserver user in OpenSearch. I’ve generated a new password hash and updated internal_users.yml but I don’t know how to update the changes.

@ewa1 When you change any of the configuration files in /usr/share/opensearch/config/opensearch-security folder, you also must run securityadmin.sh script to apply these files to the OpenSearch security plugin.

Please remember to backup the security plugin configuration first, then make the change in the configuration file (i.e. update the password of the kibanaserver user in internalusers.yml) and then update the configuration with new settings.

Thanks, I was having trouble running the script but I finally solved the problem
