WebLogic Password Reset

Below is the step where we can reset the Weblogic Password, if you are not able to login to Admin Console or forget the admin password.

1.Stop all running weblogic instances.

2.Rename the ldap folder (For eg. path <Domain_home>\servers\AdminServer\data).

3.Rename boot.properties file (For eg.  <Domain_home>\AdminServer\security).

4.Go to the domain's bin directory.

5.Run setDomainEnv.cmd
   In Windows: >setDomainEnv.cmd
   In Unix: # . ./setDomainEnv.sh
 
6.Run below command. Don't forget to give a "." at the nd of the syntax, both on Unix and windows.

  For Unix: java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <username> <new_password> .

  For Windows: java -cp C:\wls103\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\weblogic.jar:%CLASSPATH% weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <username> <new_password> .

7. A file called "DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift" will get created in the domain directory(from where you are ran the above command).

8.Copy it and paste it in domain security folder (For eg. <Domain_Home>\security) (Make sure you have a back up of old 7.DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift  file )


9.Run startWeblogic.cmd/startWeblogic.sh to start Administrator server

10.It will ask to put the user name and password. Put the new credentials.


Changes which needs to be done on the boot.properties so that server will startup  automatically.

1. Edit or create the boot.properties file under location <Domain_home>/server/<Admin_Server>/security
2. Add username and password as below:
   username=<User_Name>
   password=<New_Password>

   Make sure you are not giving any extra spaces.
 
3. Save it and again try to restart Administrator server. It will use boot.properties file and starts running.

If you check the boot.properties files after the statup you will see it encrypted.
