From the desktop application I went to database>manage>administration. enter image description here
There I filled in a new password (I tried several) and pressed 'apply'. After restarting the database I get the following prompt: Local Graph password has been changed. Please enter Graph password:. When I fill in the new password (I also tried the default, neo4j) I get this error... Failed - not a valid password. enter image description here

I can still run the database with dbms.security.auth_enabled=false, but I just want to figure out how to get this fixed. I tried all sorts of solutions. If someone could help me set this up correctly that'd be very much appreciated.

edit note: Everything worked the previous days. After the last pc restart it suddenly didn't anymore.

I asked this question on the neo4j forum (here) and got a response from wookiefrits with the following instructions:

  1. Disable authentication in your settings by setting:
    dbms.security.auth_enabled=false
  2. Then all you have to do is to go to your Neo4j Browser and paste this into the shell:
    ALTER USER neo4j SET PASSWORD 'mynewpassword';
  3. set dbms.security.auth_enabled back to true

  • I was able to do this method without errors, but once I turn `auth_enabled` back to true it doesn't accept my new password. – HyperionX Aug 16 '22 at 05:10
  • wehre is this config-file if you use the app image (`neo4j-desktop-canary-1.5.8-dev.0-x86_64.AppImage`) ? – SL5net Apr 26 '23 at 06:02

I found a fix for this. I just used the change password via cypher-shell and everything synced back up again.
