Authenticating to Oracle REST data services as admin

Question

i'm working on an android app connected to a database, the database has more data than any tablet can handle, so after some research i found many solutions, most of them consisted of implementing a webservice between the app and the database itself, i found this and this, i just installed the latest version of ords, had a couple issues to get the web interface to work but now that it's working, i cannot login, i did find a couple solutions but none of them seems to work , any ideas ? what are the default identifiers supposed to be ? i'm lost here with like 50 tabs

thank you

if you need any more information please let me know

Answer 1

ok, so i found a solution, seing how apparently my default admin password got messed up

i ran a ' find /oracle/ -iname 'apxchpwd.sql' Search command

once i got the location of the file, i logged in sqlplus as sysdba, then ran @[complete_apxchpwd.sql_path] got prompted for the new password, typed it in, and voila
