"The client is unauthorized due to authentication failure"

Question

I just started to learn Neo4j.However, I come across a problem when connecting to Neo4j at the very beginning. As the image shown, it says "The client is unauthorized due to authentication failure." Any solutions?

My browser shows this

what do you do when it's the neo4j credential that is locked out? — pojo-guy, Feb 04 '21 at 18:15

For the command line, there is same situation. Give username and pass as argument. Like:

-u neo4j -p neo4j

Since the accepted answer made no sense to me, here's my answer. Im using Neo4J Community Server 4.4.8 and when you download it, you get a folder that looks something like this

Look into the Neo4J Community Server Folder/data and the folder looks like this and DELETE the inside of databases and transactions

DELETE this in data/databases

DELETE this in data/transactions

NOTES

After you delete this the file in your databases will gone
This is works if you're working in localhost
After you delete all that, the neo4j in localhost:7474 will be reset with USERNAME = neo4j and PASSWORD = neo4j
