Re: [Exist-open] Accidentally broke admin account

Hi Ian,

the restore option provides the option to pass 2 different passwords:

./bin/backup.sh —help
-p, --password <string>                    set the password for connecting to 
                                           the database.
                                           <string>: any string
                                           Default: 
-P, --dba-password <string>                if the backup specifies a different 
                                           password for the admin user, use this option 
                                           to specify the new password. Otherwise 
                                           you will get a permission denied
                                           <string>: any string
                                           Default: 

So I think you need to specify a password using -p and -P

regards

Dannes

This has always run seamlessly when both the source and target databases have the same admin password, but when trying to restore into a database with a different admin password, it appeared to succeed, but now for some reason we are unable to log in as admin anymore.  Neither the source nor target password work.
