Configuration is stored in _/etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf_.
See xref:configuration/file-locations.adoc[Default file locations] for a complete catalog of where files are found for the various packages.

Before starting up the database for the first time, it is recommended to use the `set-initial-password` command of `neo4j-admin` to define the password for the native user `neo4j`.

In that case, you will be prompted to change the default password at first login.

For more information, see xref:configuration/set-initial-password.adoc[].
