Hi Sudhir,

obviously you haven't been studying the documentation too closely.

Hi Sudhir,


To change the password for the ADMIN account:

1) Change your working directory to the apex directory where you unzipped the installation software.

2) Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS specifying the SYSDBA role. For example:

On Windows:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password

On UNIX and Linux:

$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password

3) Run apxchpwd.sql. For example:

@apxchpwd

4) When prompted enter a password for the ADMIN account.


Hope this will helps you,

If you want more details about other Information related to installation
then follow the documentation suggested by Andre.

Hi Sudhir,

try this from SQL Prompt.
1 ) SQL> CONN SYS AS SYSDBA
and then your password.
either try this
2) CONN / AS SYSDBA


This is just a guess...try the above..

hope this will solve your issue.

thanks,

Hello Sudhir,

Do you have multiple databases on your system? If you have:
<ul>
<li>First of all check the service for the database on which you installed apex is up.</li>
<li>Check if the Listener service for the database is up.</li>
</ul>
Try the following if yours is a Windows OS:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ > sqlplus
Username: conn sys@<database-name> as sysdba
Password: <database-password>

For Example:

C:\ > sqlplus
Username: conn sys@mydb as sysdba
Password: ******

OR

Alternatively you can also try following:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ > set ORACLE_SID = <database-name>
SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ > sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password

The rest is documented here:

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for you reply. I tried all the ways as you suggested me to check. I am working in a client place so they actually installed oracle 10g later they uninstalled and installed oracle 10g xpress edition.

If I login from sqlplus where xe is installed. I am able to login. Please suggest me how to reset the admin password because when ever i connect to sysdba it asked for password. If i give the password it shows TNS: Protocol adapater error


Thanks
Sudhir
