Answer 1

You should extend Neo4jConfiguration to your config file and override below method:
#Override
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
return new SessionFactory("com.neo.entity.neo");
}
Note, com.neo.entity.neo is package name of entity.

Answer 2

I suggest you to provide credentials thru RemoteServer object
public Neo4jServer neo4jServer() {
return new RemoteServer(NEO4J_HOST + NEO4J_PORT, "neo4j", "12345");
}

Answer 3

Adding just #EntityScan to my configurtion and specifying the packages to scan worked for me.
I am using Spring Boot 1.4.0 along with Neo4j 2.0.4.
