Hi Naveen,

how to recover/reset a lost password :

Here is a quick example on windows 

Open the security.xml, find the entry for the encrypted password: it always starts with {xor}, in my case it is:

userId=”RodLaver” password=”{xor}LDo8LTor”

 

WAS_INSTALL_ROOT\lib>..\java\bin\java.exe -cp securityimpl.jar; iwsorb.jar; ras.jar; wsexception.jar;bootstrap.jar;emf.jar;ffdc.jar com.ibm.ws.security.util.PasswordDecoder{ xor}LDo8LTor =

You should get an output:

encoded password == "{ xor}LDo8LTor =", decoded password == "wasadmin"

 

WAS_INSTALL_ROOT\lib>..\java\bin\java.exe -cp securityimpl.jar; iwsorb.jar ;ras.jar ;wsexception.jar;bootstrap.jar;emf.jar;ffdc.jar com.ibm.ws.security.util.PasswordEncoder wasadmin

This will encode the password 'wasadmin': 

decoded password == "wasadmin", encoded password == "{ xor}LDo8LTor ="

 

 Hope this helps,

Cheers.
