Changing the OC4J administrator account password

To change your OC4J administrator account:

1. Log in to the Application Server Control Console using your OC4Jadmin username and password.
2. Navigate to the Application Server home page and select Setup at the top of the page.

Application Server Control Console displays the Password page. Note that the User field on this page identifies which account you are modifying.

3. Enter your current OC4J password, the new password, and the new password again for confirmation.

To provide additional security, the new password:
* Must contain at least five characters, but not more than 30 characters.
* Must begin with an alphabetic character. It cannot begin with a number, the underscore (_), the dollar sign ($), or the number sign (#).
* At least one of the characters must be a number.
* Can contain only numbers, letters, and the following special characters: US dollar sign ($), number sign (#), or underscore (_).
* Cannot contain any Oracle reserved words, such as VARCHAR.

Note that these restrictions are enforced by Application Server Control and Oracle Universal Installer; they are not enforced by the OC4J system-jazn.xml or application-based security configuration files.

4. Click OK to reset the password.

The next time you log in, you must use the new password.
