Change the WebSphere Portal administrator password

WebSphere Portal treats wpsadmin (the administrator) as any other user, just with more permissions granted. With a normal configuration, it is possible to change the wpsadmin or equivalent password through the user interface, just like any other user can manage their own password through the user interface. However, if the wpsadmin account is also used for more than just the administrator, then additional changes, outlined in other steps in this section, must be made to accommodate the change.

Change the administrator password: You can also change the Administrator password, like any other user password, using an LDAP editor.

  1. Log in to WebSphere Portal as an administrator.

  2. Click user ID in the upper-right of the screen and select Edit My Profile.

  3. Complete the appropriate fields to change password.
