Reset Admin UserName and Password?

Is there a way to reset you Admin username and password? Do I have to re-install?

Following information is from Installation Guide, Troubleshooting section. It seems to indicate that you have to re-install.
If you do not remember the administrative user name that was supplied during installation, try the user name admin. This is the default user name specified in the server configuration dialog during installation.
If you still cannot determine the user name, look in the following file:
domain_config_dir/domain1/admin-server/config/admpw
This file contains the administrator's user name followed by the encrypted form of the administrative user's password.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall the application server.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you can delete the administrative domain using the delete-domain subcommand of asadmin and create a new domain with a new administrative password.

Need help resetting or changing my admin username and password without the installation disc

I accidentally clicked on the check box that is located in system preferences in accounts that says "Allow user to administer this computer" and unchecked it. So the account that I set up the user name and password to is not the administer anymore and I don't know what account is. So now every time I want to make changes to anything and click on the lock button it will not accept my username and password. So how do I reset my username and password for the administer without the installation disc and without losing any files or folders????

Those changes require an installation DVD. However, see:

Admin username and password not recognized for upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade a user account on my computer to Yosemite. This is that not the admin account. My admin username and password are rejected. It is also rejected when I try to do something such as change the power settings. If I'm doing this within my admin account the same username and password work just fine. I have no idea how to fix this.

One more follow up question. I logged back into my admin account to upgrade to Yosemite. The software was already downloaded in the user account using the apple ID and PW associated with that account, which is different than the apple ID associated with the admin account.
Within my admin account, on the first page of the app store app it shows OSX Yosemite as 'downloaded' and nothing happens when I click that button.
The only other option is to click 'learn more' under the OSX Yosemite image. From that page it asks me to sign in to the App store to download Yosemite. The Apple ID box already contains the other Apple ID (not the one I want to use), and there is no option to change that. All I can do is enter that password.
I'd like to complete this with my Apple ID but I don't know how to change it.

ICM ADMIN username and password

Hi frnds
I have installed SAPNW7.0ABAPTrialSP12 on my system. I have started the application server and it works fine but when i click on ICM in MMC it is asking me to enter ICM ADMIN username and password.
What needs to be entered please let me know?
Thanks
Satya

check this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/82/9e98d786f040209e6a9e8145153939/content.htm">Create Administration User</a>
1.      As user <sid>adm go to the directory where the executables are kept and call up icmon ‑a pf=<instance profile> .
The following appears:
Maintain authentication file
============================
File name (icmauth.txt):   .
       2.      If you are happy with the default file name, press the enter key, otherwise enter a different file name or path.
       3.      In the next menu choose a (add user to set).
       4.      Enter the user name, then the password twice, the group name, the subject of the X.509 certificate (wildcards allowed, and it can be left empty).
User Name: icmadm
Enter Password: *****
Re-enter Password: *****
Group name: admin
Subject Value of Client Cert: CN=template,*
new entry locally created
The user created is in group admin, the user is therefore an administration user without administration authorization. In particular this user can create further users in the Web admin interface.
If you select another group name other than admin, create a monitoring user that can monitor, but not administrate, the ICM/Web Dispatcher.
If you want a user to be able to log on only with the X.509 client certificate, you can enter an x as the password (with queries), which makes the following entry (in the example) in file:
icmadm:x:admin:CN=muster,*
       5.      Choose s (save changes of set to file), to copy your changes from the local buffer to the authorization file.
       6.      Choose q, to quit the program.

APEX is running. I'm at the login page. Now I can't remember my admin username and password

After hours upon hours of finding fixes to get Oracle Application Express running, I am now on the verge of finally getting the test environment setup. In the frustration, I have now forgotten my username and password that I had when I created the thing.
Help?
BTW, is my default workspace called "Internal?"

login with sys account over installation folder..
e.g C:\apex>sqlplus
connect:sys/xe@xe as sysdba
SQL:>@apxchpwd
You can reset ADMIN password(e.g Apex_4.2)

Lost admin username and password

I recently was given this IMAC for free, by the school I work for. Unfortunatly, the person who was at the time the main administrator did not leave his username and password. (He recently quit and moved out of state). Thus I cannot open files, add software, ect. Can I start over from the begining? Any help would be gracefully accepted.

if you have the installation disks handy, you can put the first disk in, restart the machine, and hold down the C key.
this will boot from the DVD/CD drive.
once the install wizard has started, go to the utilities menu, and select password change.
this will allow you to change the password for the admin user.
you could also reinstall the os entirely by going through the installation wizard (this assumes you do not want to keep any information on the machine)

Retrieving admin username and password

Hello:
Can someone tell me how I can retrieve the username and password for the admin URL? The DBA is gone and he didn't document any of this info.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can follow the steps here to change the password for the admin account ( the user name is ADMIN ):
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/db_install.htm#CIHBHAFJ
It basically just involves running the @apxchpwd.sql script from the apex install directory ( in oracle home ).

What version of Creator are you use?
In Creator 2 Update 1, using Application Server version 8.2, you can do the following..
1) Log into the Admin Console using the default UID/PWD
2) Expand the tree view by following this path:
Application Server > Configuration > Security > Realms > admin-realm
3) Click on "Manage Users"
4) Click on the UserID "admin"
5) enter the new password that you would like
6) Click on the "Save" button on the upper right side of the page.
That should do it for you.
Good luck

Forgot admin username and password

I a computer from my work with enterprise on it and it is locked and i cant log in. I dont know the username for it, or the password. Is there a way i can restore it so i can create a new admin account, or to bypass it? Thank you for the help

you can reset the admin password if you have any other user who has administrator privileges. otherwise there is no recommended
way by Microsoft to reset the administrative passwords.

My admin status has been changed to standard after the yosemite software update,now i have no admin and can't tso anything as before doing anything it asks for admin username and password,which i don't know as there is no admin!

admin status changed to standard,currently no admin,what to do!?

Please take these steps to restore administrator privileges to your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you've confirmed that no administrator account exists on the system.
If you don't already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need guidance. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong—which is always possible.
Step 1
Start up in Recovery mode. The OS X Utilities screen will appear.
Step 2
Take this step only if you use FileVault 2. Launch Disk Utility, then select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
Step 3
Select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Select your startup volume if not already selected. Pull down the menu labeled
          Select the user account
and select
          System Administrator (root)
Follow the prompts to set a password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9. I suggest you write down the password. If you don't write it down and forget it, you'll have to start over from Step 1.
Select
           ▹ Restart...
from the menu bar.
Step 4
This step, like Step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Log in as usual, then select
           ▹ Log Out...
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-Q. Don't restart. You'll be returned to the login screen.
Step 5
At the login screen, click Other... Enter "root" (without the quotes) in the Name field, and enter the password you set in Step 3 in the Password field. You should now be logged in as root. This is a potentially dangerous condition. Do nothing while logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't deviate from the plan.
Open the Users & Groups preference pane. Select your usual administrator account in the list of users and check the box marked
          Allow user to administer this computer
You'll be prompted to restart. Do that and log in as yourself—not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.
Step 6 (optional, but recommended)
Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Disable the root user." You must authenticate in Directory Utility as "root" with the password you set in Step 3. Authenticating as another administrator won't work.

Reset blackberry username and password

Hi All,
I have Blackberry Z10 mobile.
I have forgotten the password of the device. So I used the password reset link
https://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword/
However this is sending the password reset link to my device email id. That email id does not exist anymore.
I am in a deadlock where I don’t remember the device password. When I try to reset this password, the temporary password is sent to my blackberry user id (email id), which no longer exists.
Please advice what I should do.
thanks,
anita

You need to create a new BlackBerry ID for your device.
or you can retrieve your hosted email account if you still have your old device with you.

If you have to get connection to the server directly you ca do this:
For Linux/Unix
ORACLE_SID=database_sid
export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
alter user <user_name> identified by <password>;
For Windows
SET ORACLE_SID=database_sid
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
alter user <user_name> identified by <password>;
