run the wlst command as below

Defining domain, service and encryption:

In the wlst command prompt define domain, service and encryption as below

domain = "MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain/"

service = weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(domain)

encryption = weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService(service)

Decrypting the encrypted password:

Note: Copy the encrypted password from boot.properties file

boot.properties location= DOMAIN_HOME\servers\Adminserver\security

Use print command as below to print the encrypted password

Syntax:

print "Weblogic server Admin password: %s" %encryption.decrypt<boot.properties_encrypted_password")
