Unable to start weblogic server

Question

I am getting an error while starting a Weblogic server.

ORA-28000:the account is locked
ORA-01017:invalid username/password;logon denied.

Initially I received an ORA-28001 error.

Steps that I tried:

• change Database system password.
• reset passwords in JDBC folder XML files.

Answer 1

Your account is locked. Simplest is to change the password and unlock the account again.

alter user USERNAME identified by "SecretP@ssword" account unlock;

But you'll need DBA privileges to do so on the database.

ps. You need to change the password for the USERNAME you are trying to connect with. Not the system password. If you are indeed using system as your user, you will run into issues later.
