Installed the latest python version and upgraded graphdatascience to version 1.4.

I can no longer make a connection to the database as previously down.

```auto
from graphdatascience import GraphDataScience
gds = GraphDataScience("bolt://localhost:7687", auth=(" ***","****"))

```

Failed to establish connection to ResolvedIPv4Address(('127.0.0.1', 7687)) (reason [Errno 61] Connection refused)

I have also tried

```auto
from graphdatascience import GraphDataScience
gds = GraphDataScience("neo4j://localhost:7687", auth=(" ***","****"))

```

UnableToConnectError: Unable to retrieve routing information

Suggestions for resolution?

Andy

Did a quick test. I noticed that the Neo4J desktop browser used port 11003. If I use that port number with the bolt protocol I can connect. I would not like to do that because I often have the Neo4J browser open as part of my development set up.
