Unable to use Information Server due to expired passwords for WAS, xmeta or isadmin users

The following commands can be used to reset the passwords. Make sure to match these to your new passwords for the particular user. These commands should be run with the dsadm/isadmin user:

       Windows:

Replace the WAS administrator user/password:
<Info Server>\ASBServer\bin\AppServerAdmin.bat -was -user <new user name> -password <new password>


Replace the xmeta database user/password:
<Info Server>\ASBServer\bin\AppServerAdmin.bat -db -user <new user name> -password <new password>

Add a user to the Information Server internal directory (-admin gives it administration privileges):
<Info Server>\ASBServer\bin\DirectoryAdmin.bat -user -admin -userid <user name> -password <password>

Where:
<Info Server> is the path of the Information Server directory, e.g. C:\IBM\InformationServer

·               
                  

       Unix:

Replace the WAS administrator user/password:
<Info Server>/ASBServer/bin/AppServerAdmin.sh -was -user <new user name> -password <new password>

Replace the xmeta database user/password:
<Info Server>/ASBServer/bin/AppServerAdmin.sh -db -user <new user name> -password <new password>

Add a user to the Information Server internal directory (-admin gives it administration privileges):
<Info Server>/ASBServer/bin/DirectoryAdmin.sh -user -admin -userid <user name> -password <password>

Where:
<Info Server> is the path of the Information Server directory, e.g. /IBM/InformationServer
