Instructions for starting a Docker container in order to run integration tests do not work. https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver#integration-and-benchmark-testing

Neo4j Version: 5.3.0 Community
Neo4j Mode: Docker Driver version: Go driver at commit 8a53610e Operating System: macOS

Steps to reproduce

1. Create Neo4j Docker container using the following command

   docker run \   
   --rm \
   --env NEO4J_ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=yes \
   --env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/pass \
   -p7474:7474 -p7687:7687 \
   neo4j:latest

Expected behavior

The container starts successfully

Actual behavior

The container fails to start unless --env NEO4J_dbms_security_auth__minimum__password__length=4 is set.

Invalid value for password. The minimum password length is 8 characters.
If Neo4j fails to start, you can:
1) Use a stronger password.
2) Set configuration dbms.security.auth_minimum_password_length to override the minimum password length requirement.
3) Set environment variable NEO4J_dbms_security_auth__minimum__password__length to override the minimum password length requirement.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A password must be at least 8 characters.

Thanks, good catch. This is due to a change in the minimal length of password starting with Neo4j 5.3. Let me update the docs.
