  1. Make sure Weblogic instance is down.
  2. Set your environment variables using setDomainEnv.sh.
  3. cd to security directory in your instance.
  (eg: $WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain/security)
  4. Run:
  java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount admin_user admin_pass .Remember to change “admin_user” and “admin_pass” to your need.
  Also, don’t forget the period “.” at the end of the above command, it is required.

  5. After running the command, the file “DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift” will get updated.
  6. Delete the following file from “ldap” folder:
  

  cd WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap
  rm DefaultAuthenticatormyrealmInit.initialized

  
  7. Startup weblogic server using the newly created admin credential. (enter the info in boot.properties)
  8. Logon to /console with the newly created administrator.
  9. Under ‘Security Realms’, change the password for the old admin.
