Invalid Login Credentials after a brand new install of APEX 2.2

Question

I'm trying to install APEX2.2 for the first time to see what it can do.
I have followed the install document.
When I got ot here, http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb
It requests a workspace, username, password.
back to the documentation, it states use http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb/apex_admin
to create your workspace. And to sign in as admin, and the password passed into @apexins.sql When I try that, it results in the error message "Invalid Login Credentials" The documentation does not describe anything about that!
Please help
Thanks,
Jason

Joel,
I had a cut and paste error in my last posting, I actually ran this:
alter user FLOWS_020200 account unlock;
connect FLOWS_020200/apex
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;
alter user FLOWS_020200 account unlock;
I have a thought on why Ben and I both had this same "Invalid Login Credentials" issue. In my case it certainly wasn't because of any special characters in the password. I used apex as a password.
From reading Ben's post I see we both first had a problem with the images directory. Sounds like Ben had the same issue I had. Which was in the marvel.conf I first entered this
Alias /i/ "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_as\Apache\Apache\images"
instead of this:
Alias /i/ "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_as\Apache\Apache\images/"
This caused my http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb URL to paritially work. I'm thinking that may be what caused the "Invalid Login Credentials" once I made the Alias adjustment.
Thanks,
Jason
