Strange Admin password change Apex 3.01

Hi,
I recently installed apex 3.01successfully and copied the Admin user password during the install. I successfully logged in later with that password into the Admin account and set up a couple workspaces. Yesterday I tried to log in with that same password (written down) and it is not working. Is there any inadvertent event that might cause the password to be reset? I don't recall changing the password while working as the Admin. Anyone else have this type of thing happen? I see from the forum that there is a utility for resetting the password -- is there a readme for it?
Pat

Hi, Scott,
Thanks.
Yes, I see that the account is now locked and apparently was set to change password on first use. I don't recall having to change on first use.
So is the only way to unlock to run the apxxepwd.sql or if I have sysdba privileges, can I just change the status in the table. I am in SQL developer right now as sys/sysdba and I can see the table values but I don't want to change if it will cause other problems.
Pat
I saw other postings where changes are made to this table to unlock the admin user so I went ahead and made the change and also changed to N change password on first use.
I am able to get back in with the original password I had.
I also see that it tracks password attempts, so I guess I tried some wrong ones once too many times. I reset that back to null also.

  • Admin Password Change

    After Updating Admin Password Do we need Run Any Other Utility to Sync The Password.
    Thanks

    No, Admin tool is sufficient. Did you change the password in online mode? If you change it in offline mode then you need to restart the BI Server.

  • Admin password changed - can't boot from CD

    I'm the sole user of my iBook, and the administrator password USED to be the same as my user login password. I have no idea what happened, but now it won't accept the admin password (it still accepts it as my user password), so I can't install new software or updates. I also can't boot from the install CD using the 'C' key - nothing happens, it just boots from the HD. In fact, I can't boot into any different mode by pressing a key at startup. I'm going crazy, I have no idea what happened or how to fix it. It's something that's happened since 5/20/06, because I installed 'dashcode' on that date. I also installed the 5/18 security update.
    Does anybody know what might have caused this, or how I fix it? Thanks.

  • Admin password not recognized!

    My Administrator password is no longer recognized! This is the same password that I have had for years. What can I do to change it back to what I had before? Will I have to save everything and reinstall in order to change it?

    OK. I got my admin password changed. Thank you. Now my keychain is not recognizing my password either. I can't unlock the keychain to change it without the password. Now what?

  • Having trouble resetting admin password

    I have followed the directions on the MAC OS X install disc to get to the area that allows an admin password change. However, after I hit Utilities, then Restart, it asks me for the admin password to continue. I am trying to change it because I have forgotten it. Kind of a "Can't get there from here" loop. Any thoughts?

    Reboot with the DVD in, and hold down C when you hear the startup bong.

  • Apex-config.xml is broken after password change with encryption

    Greetings,
    I am using Apex Listener 1.1 with Oracle GlassFish Open Source Edition 3.1.
    I found something strange when changing the connection password in apex-config.xml.
    If I change the password to keep it plain text like the following, it works fine.
    <entry key="apex.db.password">my_password</entry>
    But if I change the password to a value to be encrypted, the new password is accepted but the configuration file get messed up.
    <entry key="apex.db.password">!my_password2</entry>
    After restarting the listener, I get the following content in my apex-config.xml.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">

    Needless to say that after the next restart nothing works. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

    You have corrupted your web.xml somehow, repeat the steps making sure the web.xml is well formed.

    All in my environment works well I have APEX 4.0.2 installed on a WLS 10.3.5. I have ended my developments and a user tell me that the password for the URL

    I alter the password of the APEX_04000, and I use the script apxchpwd.sql.
    Then I work and all was ok.
    After 1 hour the same user report me that the URL to access to the applicaton (http://app88:37001/apex) showed the error:

    So I unlocked the passwords of APEX_04000, APEX_PUBLIC_USER and FLOWS_FILES to the same. ALso change the java size. After all I got the following error:
    Error 404--Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.5 404 Not Found
    The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
    Any help will be appreciated?

    Hi Olga,
    I alter the password of the APEX_04000, and I use the script apxchpwd.sql. As far as I know, this script doesn't change anything concerning the database users. It just resets the password for the ADMIN user of the APEX internal workspace ("APEX_ADMIN").
    So the root cause for the stack trace you see, which is
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28000: the account is lockedmust be located somewhere else...
    So I unlocked the passwords of APEX_04000, APEX_PUBLIC_USER and FLOWS_FILES to the same.Usually you'll just use APEX_PUBLIC_USER with your APEX Listener, so you don't need to unlock the others. I'm not sure what locked APEX_PUBLIC_USER on your system. Possibly you haven't disabled password aging and the account got locked because the password change didn't happen in time.
    If you chose a different password than the one you configured your APEX Listener with, you'll have to reconfigure it. To do that, you can either edit or delete the apex-config.xml that your APEX Listener is configured to use. Deleting would let you re-run */apex/listenerConfigure* , i.e. you start with a fresh configuration. If you prefer to just reset the password, you can simply put the new password into the corresponding entry. Since you probably don't want to encrypt the password yourself, you can simply use the plain password and put a ! in front of it, e.g.
    <entry key="apex.db.password">!newpassword</entry>The APEX Listener will take the passoword and store the encrypted value into the file upon the first start after the change.
    You need to restart the APEX Listener in either case.

  • Weblogic admin user password change w/o disrupting existing users

    Hi Folks,
    As a business policy we need to change the password of the admin user in weblogic after a cycle of specific period.
    Please let us now how can we do that without losing the other existing users in 'my realm.'
    I understand that we can use the weblogic.utils.security.AdminAcoount utility to give the new password, which will create a new DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift file in +<domain-home>/security+ folder (according to Doc ID 1082299.1).
    The password will change but the users in 'my realm' will be lost. (there are many users and it is a production environment so recreation is out-of- question)
    Is there a way we can retain the users and still proceed with the password change?
    Cheers,
    Jeegar

    Hi Jeegar,
    This can be doen by followin the standard procedure by login to console and navigate to :-
    DOMAIN_STRUCTURE--->Security Realm--->myrealm--->Users and Groups---->User tab click on the user weblogic
    --click on the password tab and put the new password there and save (password is changed for the user here)
    ---Logout from the console and login to the console again using the new password
    But when the server starts it do not read the password for the user directly from the realm rather it picked the same from the $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
    Now in order to make this change available when the server starts change the values for the username and password in boot.properties and specify them in plain-text and save the same.
    Now next time whenever the server will start it will pick up the new values from the boot.properties and once the same had been accepted those will be encrypted again.
    You might have to make the change for the boot.properties for all the Managed Server if you have the Managed Servers in the domain which will be located at the location $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/<<Managed Server Name>>/data/nodemanager/boot.properties
    You can test the steps on some lower environment first and try the same in Critical environment once the testing goes successful.

  • How to change default admin password on Cisco Aironet 1040

    How do I change the default username and password on the Cisco Aironet 1040. There is a default set and I want to change that to secure the device. I've checked the manual and can't seem to find the directions. Any ideas?

    Hi Brian,
    If this AP is already registered with a WLC then you can change it via WLC.
    In WLC GUI, go to Wireless -> Select the AP -> Credential -> Override Global Credential-> Update username/pw/enable pw
    In WLC CLI, you can configure it like this. If it is for all APs, then select all, otherwise AP name.
    (WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username admin password Cisco123 secret Cisco123 ?
    all            Applies the configuration to every AP that does not have a specific user name.
         Enter the name of the Cisco AP.
    (WLC3) >config ap mgmtuser add username password secret
    (WLC3) >save config
    Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
    If it is Autonomous AP you can configure using the "username xxxx password xxx" IOS command

  • After recovery, admin password filled in with "dots" and cannot delete or change it

    Hello.
    I ran the Windows 7 updates yesterday, but only the necessary ones.  I did not install any of the optional ones.  After the updates completed, I turned the computer on and it was stuck in a loop cycle - starting windows, then the admin password log in box came up.  The box was fiiled in (with "dots" but too many to represent my password) and the screen just quickly flashed back & forth between the log in screen and "password incorrect".     I tried to switch user, and it flashed back to the admin log in. 
    I did a system recovery to factory defaults (after backing up all data)  using the recovery discs.  After recovery, the "Set a password for account" screen comes up with the box below "Type a password" filled in completely with dots.  I cannot erase them with the backspace or delete keys.  If I highlight it and then try erase it with backspace or delete, the cursor just moves to the right hand side of the password box, but it still doesn't delete the faulty password "dots" so that I can change it. 
    I tried to reboot by holding in the power button and then turning it back on.  After selecting country & language again, the same password screen come up.
    It is stuck!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I computer I have  is the HP TouchSmart 310 PC 1155-Y.
    Thank You!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    That is curious with a Recovery.  First, try to reset the password using NTPassword.  Make the CD, boot to it  following the directions.  If that does not solve the signon problem, consider installing the OS from a regular Windows 7 disk of the same version, using the key from the COA sticker.

  • I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

    I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

    If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
    How to reset FileVault master password
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
    As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place.

  • How do I change the admin password in SJSWS 7.0?

    I've googled this, searched the forums, read the manual, but I haven't found anything that explained how to change the admin password for SJSWS 7.0. So, right now I'm stuck with "adminadmin" as the password, which I think is the default since I don't remember specifying that during install. Clearly I can't use this in production with the default admin password... sorry if this is a rtfm question, but I really didn't see anything in the manual about changing the admin password. Thanks!

    You could use the following CLI command:-
    wadm> set-admin-prop --set-password
    More information about the command:-
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3283/set-admin-prop-1?a=view
    You could also use Administration console-
    - Login to the Administration Console and click on the Nodes tab
    - In the Nodes page, click on the Administration Server link within the Nodes table
    - Go to "Administration Server Preferences" section in the General page and change the password

  • TS1544 I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but  when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get

    I am the administrator of my MacBook Pro, which I share with my kids. One of them forgot his password, so as the admin I changed it for his account, but  when I try to see his account, it says I need to provide the keychain password. How can i get it? I have no idea how to sort this out...

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, 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 boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • Rejecting my admin password thats never been chang...

    BT Home hub manager keeps interupting and saying they can't connect to broadband and I need to change the admin password. However I am still connected and apart from the manager have no problems. I decided to change the password to see if it stopped it happening but the password on the back of the hub was rejected although it has not been changed as far as I know. Any idea's?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can you actually connect to the broadband?  If so, then it's probably just BT Desktop Help going haywire.  Quite frankly, it's a largeley useless bit of software that causes more problems than it solves.
    As for the hub password, check very carefully that you are typing it correctly - check uppercase vs. lowercase letters, and check for numbers that look like letters and vice-versa.
    The hub normally asks for the password to be changed the first time anyone changes any settings, so it may have been changed some time ago.  If all else fails, use the Reset to Factory Defaults , but be aware that doing so will lose all customised settings.
