Please provide a solution to perform a password reset.

Solution
The steps to perform this task are below.
The example solution begins by creating a BI Publisher superuser.
On both OBIEE and BI Publisher.
Start username/password: Administrator/Administrator
After username/password Administrator/admin3
After username/password Administrator/admin3
BI Publisher superuser username/password admin2/admin2
After the test I also proved you could log into OBIEE and click on the preconfigured Dashboard.
Please follow the exact steps below and create the same usernames and passwords to start off with.
1. Take a backup copy of the
c:\OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Configuration\xmlp-server-config.xml
file.
2. Log into BI Publisher
3. Select Admin > Security Center > Security Configuration
4. Enable a Local Superuser called: admin2 with the password admin2
. Click <Apply>

If the above method still fails attach your c:\OracleBI\xmlp\XMLP\Admin\Configuration\xmlp-server-config.xml file for comparison. I would expect the encrypted password strings to exactly match my environment.
** BI Scheduler password **
This password can be changed in ’schconfig’ from the DOS/UNIX command line/shell.

Quit 3 times and restart all Analytics Services (to bring them back in sync – restarting the BI Scheduler on its own also works, but Job Manager connections may exhibit stale behaviour depending on what has been changed) .
