Please enter repository password:

Invalid Password


What am I doing wrong?
a) If I don't know this password, how can I reset it?
b) Is the password's hash value saved in "$ORACLE_HOME/sysman/config/
emkey.ora"
c) Or is it saved somewhere inside the repository database?

Thanks for your replies,
Ronny

See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b40002/postinstall_config.htm#sthref974

Try your sysman password, it may be a default or something someone
habitually put in.

If you don't know the password then the question on the table is why?

Is it because you forgot it? lost it? or you are trying to hack it?

What username are you trying to use? The one in the docs or are you
just trying random stuff and hoping it will work?
