Sometimes you will find that you have forgot the WebLogic Server Admin User password, however its simple task if you want to reset it, You just need to have access to the box where the WebLogic Server is Installed.
Follow the below steps to reset the Admin User Password for WebLogic in Windows environment.
Step 1: Navigate to Domain
cd D:\Oracle\Middleware\WebLogic\10.3.4.0\user_projects\domains\CustImageTestDomain
Step 2 : Set the Domain Environment
D:\Oracle\Middleware\WebLogic\10.3.4.0\user_projects\domains\CustImageTestDomain>cd bin
D:\Oracle\Middleware\WebLogic\10.3.4.0\user_projects\domains\CustImageTestDomain\bin>setDomainEnv.cmd
Step 3: Navigate to Security Directory
D:\Oracle\Middleware\WebLogic\10.3.4.0\user_projects\domains\CustImageTestDomain>cd security
D:\Oracle\Middleware\WebLogic\10.3.4.0\user_projects\domains\CustImageTestDomain\security>dir
