Websphere admin account locked

The administrator account to login to WAS admin console is locked out. Is there a way for the developer to unlock the account? I looked at this link:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v5r6m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.commerce.admin.doc/tasks/tsewc55securityguide32.htm But I am not sure what they mean by WebSphere Commerce database name

Kaushik,

As suggested by Grzegorz Grzybek you should be able to turn the security to false by changing the security.xml

However it is preferred that you don't touch any of the configuration files by hand.

The preffered way to do this is to use wsadmin with a conntype NONE.

Refer to: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.express.doc%2Finfo%2Fexp%2Fae%2Fusec_rgsp.html

If your server does not restart after you enable global security, you can disable security. Go to your $install_root/bin directory and run the wsadmin -conntype NONE command. At the wsadmin> prompt, enter securityoff and then type exit to return to a command prompt. Restart the server with security disabled to check any incorrect settings through the administrative console.

Also refer to: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21173912

This is applicable to a number of WAS versions including the latest ones.

This is a back door for you to use in scenarios like this.
