Hello,

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"password":"Accenture.1"}' -u neo4j:neo4j http://localhost:7474/user/neo4j/password

  • About to connect() to localhost port 7474 (#0)

This may be a bit late, but though to post a solution that worked for me. The change password statement needs to be run against the system db. So the url in curl would be http://localhost:7474/db/system/tx instead of http://localhost:7474/db/neo4j/tx
curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "statements" : [ { "statement" : "ALTER CURRENT USER SET PASSWORD FROM 'neo4j' TO 'test.1'" } ]}' -u neo4j:neo4j http://localhost:7474/db/system/tx

This worked perfectly for me
