Neo4j refuses to connect

Good day "neo4jers"

I have been having issue with neo4j 3.5 on my centos 7 vps.

After installing neo4j and changed password,

I have to try atleast 3 times before I could login because it kept saying
Neo.ClientError.Security.Unauthorized: Invalid username or password..

After login attempt, I tried creating a label and I got this:

CREATE (ee:Person { name: "Emil", from: "Sweden", klout: 99 })

#### Neo.ClientError.Security.AuthenticationRateLimit

Too many failed authentication requests. Please wait 5 seconds and try again

Then it displays Connect to neo4j screen.

Welcome Meshmmanuel,

My suggestion may look weird, however could you please restart your machine and try to connect Neo4j.

Regards
Vivek

I have restarted my machine severally.

I have also contacted Neo4j
