Error connecting python to neo4j using py2neo

Question

I wrote the following python code to neo4j using py2neo

 from py2neo import Graph
 from py2neo import neo4j,Node,Relationship
 sgraph = Graph()
 alice = Node("person",name="alice")
 bob   = Node("person",name="bob")
 alice_knows_bob = Relationship(alice,"KNOWS",bob)
 sgraph.create(alice_knows_bob)

but i got the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

If you're using Neo4j 2.2, authentication for database servers is enabled by default. You need to authenticate before performing further operations. Read documentation.

from py2neo import authenticate, Graph

# set up authentication parameters
authenticate("localhost:7474", "user", "pass")

# connect to authenticated graph database
sgraph = Graph("http://localhost:7474/db/data/")

# create alice and bob
...

From the same documentation,

Py2neo provides a command line tool to help with changing user passwords as well as checking whether a password change is required.

For a new installation, use:

$ neoauth neo4j neo4j my-p4ssword
Password change succeeded

After a password has been set, the tool can also be used to validate credentials

$ neoauth neo4j my-p4ssword
Password change not required
