This is from Oracle:
Env: Oracle Enterprise Manager 9.0.2
Oracle9iAS Release 2
If you have forgotten the EM Administrative password for ias_admin, the solution depends on your platform. Please follow the platform specific steps below:
Windows NT / 2000:
The Enterprise Manager Web Site will enforce use of the current Administrator (ias_admin) password when you log in to Enterprise Manager, stop the Enterprise Manager Service, or change the ias_admin password. If you have forgotten your ias_admin password then you must reset it using the following procedure while you are logged on to your PC as the person who installed Oracle9iAS:
1.Edit the following file and locate the line that defines the credentials property for use the ias_admin user:
%ORACLE_HOME%\sysman\j2ee\
The following example shows the section of jazn-data.xml with the credentials entry in boldface type:
<realm>
<name>enterprise-manager</
<users>
<user>
<name>ias_admin</name>
<credentials>rJqp85BkhFwAy
</user>
2.Remove the entire line that contains the <credentials> property from jazn-data.xml.
3.Enter the following command from DOS Command window:
%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\emctl set password reset <new password>
Unix:
On unix platforms, this step is not necessary because the emctl utility does not require the old password in order to set the new password.
