Hello Stephen,
Change of password is not done via configtool. Configtool secure store just stores the current password which is taken by SDM during the deployment.
To change the password of the administrator user, you will need to enable SAP*. Please follow note Note 669848.
1. open the configtool: C:\usr\sap\<InstenceID>\JC<xx>\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat
ex: C:\usr\sap\J9E\JC09\j2ee\configtool ---> configtool
2. Activate the "super admin" and enter password(this is your choice) in configtool properties:
In Config tool: cluster-data>Global Server configuration>services--> com.sap.security.core.ume.service
find below ume properties and change values as i mentioned
ume.superadmin.activated=TRUE
ume.superadmin.password= < enter password>
3. Save the changes in configtool. click on Save button.
4. Stop the j2ee engine.
5. Start the j2ee engine.
6. Now you login to UME with username "SAP*" and password "what you entered in configtool"
7. After logging into UME Search for user "administrator" then unlock this user; or if you want to change password you can change it.
8. Goto config tool follow step 1:
9. Follow step2: and change ume property values as below:
ume.superadmin.activated=FALSE
ume.superadmin.password= (note: seta as default or blank)
10. Save the change setting in configtool.
11. Restart the j2ee engine ( Stop and Start).
12. Now login to user as "Administrator"; you will succussfully loging into ume;
Hope this helps.
