Getting Database failed to create: Could not change password on Mac OS Mojave #56

Hi, I am getting the "infamous" problem of failing the creation of a local graph database in Neo4J Desktop on Mac Os Mojave. I have downloaded the Desktop version 1.1.17 and successfully connected to a remote database (you can notice the ORION_KR project in the figure).

Now I would like to install APOC and Graph Algorithms plugins, which apparently is only working if a local DB exists. When I try to create a simple DB called Graph the creation fails, the console with the error is shown in the picture as well.

I have looked at existing threads but they are all related to Windows.

@antoniocicchetti Very strange issue. not sure if that is a Neo4j Desktop issue, or Neo4j itself. I would suggest removing the downloaded distribution (3.5.3) in the settings sidebar. After that try re-creating the local graph.

@oskarhane have you seen this error before?

@Metaur thanks for your attention, one possible related issue is that I get Neo4J version 3.2.0 running (I can see it when I run the neo4j console command on Terminal) even though I have completely removed all the versions but 3.5.3. I will try your suggestion in some days, I need Neo4J for a research work and have solved the issue by running Neo4J 3.5.3 on Docker and pointing all the rest to my local folders. At least in this way I can load my DB, I have installed the plugins, and the connection with Bolt works smoothly on Neo4J Desktop. I will keep you updated as soon as I can risk to break my current configuration.

I'm having the same issue on Neo4j Desktop v1.2.3 and macOS Mojave 10.14.6. Mine is giving different error though.

I have the same issue, honestly why you don't fix this issue?
