Lost or Forgot WebSphere Console Password


If by any chance you do not know the password for wasadmin to access WebSphere Console, there is a simple trick to get out of this situation.

You just have make a small change in security.xml file which resides under WebSphere Deployment Manager Profile folder, path is:

\ibm\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ctgDmgr01\config\cells\ctgCell01

Open security.xml file and search for following keyword:

useDomainQualifiedUserNames="false" enabled=

you will see that enabled is set to "true" as below

useDomainQualifiedUserNames="false" enabled="true"

Change the value of enabled attribute to "false".

Open WebSphere console and you will see that only username is being asked.

After you log in to WebSphere console, you can reconfigure the Security.
