Upgrading existing Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control: How to Change / Reset ias_admin Password

In the case you know the current password for user ias_admin, you can change it with following command:

emctl set password <old_password> <new_password>

Otherwise it's necessary to change it in the file: $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/j2ee/config/jazn-data.xml

Find following rows: <user>    <name>ias_admin</name>    <credentials>{903}8QkQ/crno3lX0f3+67dj6WxW9KJMXaCu</credentials> </user> Change password: <user>    <name>ias_admin</name>    <credentials>!welcome1</credentials> </user>

Sign "!" means, that the password is stored in clear text.
