Admin Password

Question

I successfully installed oracle application express and login to the apex_admin site. I created a workspace, create developer accounts etc.
Now when I try to login to the apex_admin site I receive an invalid credentials message.
I reset my password using the apxxepwd.sql script. and I created a new admin account using the following code
begin
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>10);
wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user(
p_user_name => 'admin2',
p_email_address => '[email protected]',
p_web_password => 'admin2') ;
end;
When I created the new account, the set new password screen came up, but after I set my new password I was unable to login. I received the same message "invalid credentials"
I also ran the following code just to make sure that the apex admin was not disabled
BEGIN
WWV_FLOW_API.SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID(p_security_group_id=>10);
WWV_FLOW_PLATFORM.SET_PREFERENCE(
p_preference_name => 'DISABLE_ADMIN_LOGIN',
p_preference_value => 'N' );
end;
any suggestions??

1. Please tell us your first name and put it in your handle and/or profile to help us.
2. Always state your Application Express and database versions. It can save a round trip.
3. Connect as the product schema (flows_xxxxxx) or as system (then alter session set current_schema=flows_xxxxxx) and:
update wwv_flow_fnd_user set account_locked='N' where user_name in ('ADMIN','ADMIN2') and security_group_id=10;
commit;
Alternately, checked the account_locked column before-hand. If it's 'Y' then there were probably too many unsuccessful login attempts (wrong password) which resulted in the accounts being locked.
