Cannot login with default admin password

[alexgrimmy]

I did a Alfresco 1.4.0 Community Install on a Windows XP SP2 machine.
The install went smoothly.
I also configured it to use an Oracle database (details below).

The problem I have now is that when I try to login into Alfresco with admin/admin I just keep getting message Unable to login - unknown username and password.

I checked the Oracle database's alf_node_properties table and verified that the hashed password is indeed 209c6174da490caeb422f3fa5a7ae634 – which corresponds to the hashed value of 'admin'.

I checked the Tomcat logs and there are no errors spit out.

Please help.  Thanks in advance.

Oracle configuration–
Edit the file C:\Alfresco ECMS\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\repository.properties and set the following
db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.name=alfresco
db.url=jdbcracle:thin:@10.21.1.146:1521:doc00
db.username=alfresco_prd
db.password=<password>

Edit the file C:\Alfresco ECMS\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\domain\hibernate-cfg.properties and set the following
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect

Edit the file C:\Alfresco ECMS\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\custom-db-connection.properties and set the following
db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.url=jdbcracle:thin:@10.21.1.146:1521:doc00

Edit the file C:\Alfresco ECMS\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\custom-hibernate-dialect.properties and set the following
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect

Copy the Oracle 10g r2 classes12.jar file into C:\Alfresco ECMS\tomcat\common\lib

most of time we have this kind of errors when there is an incoherence between alf_data and database content.

If i can give you an advice maybe try to delete your alfresco database and your alf_data then restart alfresco.

Hi

Check you configuration.
Rebuild the indexes.

If it is still borken then check the configuration again!

What locale are you using at the login?
Have you changed the default locale of the server?
Set up any different analysers for d:text?
