Because this question was never answered, I was hoping someone could help me reset the password to connect to my neo4j password (at localhost:7474). Zachary wrote a post on solving this by someone restarting the service using:
sudo service neo4j-service restart but I did not find this helpful. In the terminal, I ran bin/neo4j restart (which I think is the equivalent command), and was not able to reset my password.

start the Neo4j server. - Open the url(http://127.0.0.1:7474/browser/) in browser. - click on Database icon from left side menu. - Find "Connected as" -> :server user add , click on and add your desire user name and password in right windows.
The default username for a neo4j database is neo4j. The DB Password is the password for the neo4j database. The default password for a neo4j database is neo4j.
You can use the browser instead of the API. Just go to http://localhost:7474 (or whatever IP to which the web console is bound) and you will be prompted to change the password. Once authenticated, use the command :server change-password to change the password again.
Neo4j Browser is the easiest way to access a Neo4j database. To establish a connection, you enter the DBMS URL, the name of the database you want to connect, and the user credentials. You can also use the :server command to manage the connection to Neo4j. For more information, see Manage connection commands.
Depending on environment and installation type you need to look for a file named auth under directory dbms and remove it.
In MacOs, for dmg installations (adjust for custom locations):
/Users/xyz/Documents/Neo4j/default.graphdb/dbms/auth or (homebrew install)
/usr/local/Cellar/neo4j/x.x.x/libexec/data/dbms/auth Windows users should look for same file in the default.graphdb/dbms directory.
In Ubuntu
/var/lib/neo4j/data/dbms/auth In docker containers
/var/lib/neo4j/data/dbms/auth Alternatively, you might choose to disable auth in the configuration file, usually found in
MacOs:
/Users/xyz/Documents/Neo4j/.neo4j.conf or
/usr/local/Cellar/neo4j/x.x.x/libexec/conf and set this property to false
dbms.security.auth_enabled=false After doing this, you need to restart the server for changes to make effect, you will be asked for a new password.

In window machine, I deleted the auth file at following path :
Users\systemUser\Documents\Neo4j\default.graphdb\data\dbms and then I restarted the neo4j server.
Navigate to http://localhost:7474. It will ask you to enter the password for user neo4j. Enter default password (neo4j)
After this you will be navigated to change password screen. Change your password.
Note : for other operating systems auth file path may be different
