One way we can get you logged in is by updating your admin password via `internal_users.yml` and `securityadmin.sh`.

Make sure _plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: true_  
[Update password (hash)](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security/configuration/yaml/#internal_usersyml) in your `internal_users.yml`  
Run the [securityadmin.sh](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security/configuration/security-admin/) to apply changes
