Reset 11g XE APEX Password
Me gusta A 2 personas les gusta esto.

Ive been busy working on other things since APEX 4 shipped. After I got through the installations of Oracle Database 11g XE (see prior posts), figuring out the default user name and password for APEX Administration became a tedious task. The documentation didnt really help point to what was needed but its always in the code. You reset the APEX Administration Account for Oracle Database 11g XE by doing the following steps: 1. Open a command shell and change the directory to the %ORACLE_HOME%\apex directory (the default Oracle Home is c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server). Then, connect as the SYSTEM user to the SQL*Plus utility, and run the following command that sets the temporary password to admin. Youll reset the password when you connect through the web interface.
@apxxepwd admin

2. Open APEX Administration by navigating to the http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin, and youll see the following APEX Administration Login screen. Enter admin as the user name and admin as the password and click the Login button.

3. Youll be prompted to reset the password in the following Change Password screen. Enter admin as the old password and a new password that complies with the following rules, and click the Apply Changes button. Password must contain at least 6 characters. New password must differ from old password by at least 2 characters. Password must contain at least one numeric character (0123456789). Password must contain at least one punctuation character (!#$%&()*+,-/:;<=>?_). Password must contain at least one upper-case alphabetic character. Password must not contain username.

11. After youve provisioned a workspace, you can create objects like you did with APEX 3. Enter the following URL: http://localhost:8080/apex and youll be brought to this login screen.

12. After logging in to your Basic workspace, youll have these four principal widgets, as shown in the screen capture.

Maybe I went through the 2-Day APEX manual too quickly but I didnt see how to do this, all I saw was how to use the HR sample schema. As always, I hope this helps others.
