How to reset your password for OC4J Admin

Try this to reset your password for oc4j admin

1. Navigate to the D:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\config directory
2. Backup the file: system-jazn-data.xml for restore or later reference
3. Edit the file: system-jazn-data.xml

Locate the following entries:

<user>
<name>oc4jadmin</name>
<display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name>
<description>OC4J Administrator</description>
<credentials>{903}MMGWnYKcnMKBBOR1LroHHrQpy3zmVbGEohN4aUSjxK4=</credentials>
</user>

and add the XML attribute deactivated="true", as shown below:

<user deactivated="true">
<name>oc4jadmin</name>
<display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name>
<description>OC4J Administrator</description>
<credentials>{903}MMGWnYKcnMKBBOR1LroHHrQpy3zmVbGEohN4aUSjxK4=</credentials>
</user>

When you next start the oc4j instance using "oc4j -start" the container will re-prompt you for the password and add the newly encrypted password to the <credentials> tag in the oc4jadmin entry.

To start oc4j:

1 Open command prompt by issuing cmd in Run
2 navigate to D:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\bin
3 say ' oc4j -start'

Good Luck :)
