Is there any way to add neo4j admin user from console? I found how to change default password for native user neo4j https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/configuration/set-initial-password/ but didn't found how to add new admin user.

It's not possible with the neo4j-admin tool, but directly with the cypher-shell by running those queries (so you need to have a running database):

CALL dbms.security.createUser('root', 'password');
CALL dbms.security.addRoleToUser('admin', 'root');

You will find the description of all security's procedures here : https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/security/authentication-authorization/native-user-role-management/procedures/

can I create user before starting neo4j? – kali Dec 07 '17 at 15:10
It's not possible for the moment with a built-in tool, but you can manually edit files `auth` and `roles` in the folder `data/dbms` – logisima Dec 07 '17 at 15:23

Since it was needed to set credentials before neo4j start I manually generated login and password using script from this comment and inserted them to neo4j auth file.
