When you create an AuraDB Instance in the Neo4j Aura console, you will receive a prompt with the default, generated password (unrecoverable).

If you want to change the default password later, you have the following options:

Option #1

 

1. Log in to your Neo4j Aura console and open the browser (Neo4j Browser) using the Query button on the right of the AuraDB Instance. 
   
     
2. In the browser’s command prompt, at the top of the window, type the following two commands: 

   :use system 
   ALTER USER neo4j SET PASSWORD '<NEW_PASSWORD>'

 

Option #2

 

1. Launch a Cypher input tool, which can be any of the following:
   - Neo4j Desktop
   - Cypher shell
   
   
2. Run the same Cypher commands shared above: 

   :use system 
   ALTER USER neo4j SET PASSWORD '<NEW_PASSWORD>'

 

NOTE: For cypher-shell, you can invoke the command with the option `-d system` to avoid calling the procedure `:use system` and therefore reach the stage to issue the cypher statement.
