If you happen to forget WebSphere administrative console password, or are locked out due to user registry problems etc and cannot login to your admin console, you may want to turn off WebSphere Application Server global security from outside the administrative console so that you can login to admin console. To do so you can either change the security.xml file of WAS or use the wsadmin tool for it.
Using WAS command-line client wsadmin (run with root privileges):
1. Open a connection to local WAS in offline mode
wsadmin -conntype NONE
2. Turn off global security
wsadmin> securityoff
3. Save
wsadmin> $AdminConfig save
Originally documented by Bill Higgins and Bobby Woolf.The only other alternative is to modify the WAS_HOME\config\cells\cellname\security.xml file in your was directy
