Recover WAS admin console password

There are two ways to deal with password at WAS admin console

1. Disable the security for WAS and login as anonymous. Go to security settings, if it is local security are free to modify the password, but if it is LDAP user then find the user and check with LDAP team for respective user.

Now in Production environment this becomes next to impossible to disable security, we can find the password by using step 2.

2. Login on server ( either application server or deployment server).
  • Go to directory profiles/profie_name/config/cells .
  • Open file security.xml.
  • Look for tag userRegistry
  • Find the encrypted password for respective user
  • Enter the encrypted value to URL : http://www.sysman.nl/wasdecoder/
This will decript the password for WAS admin console.
