EM Grid Control - The Culprit of Changing Weblogic Admin Password

I am sure different people have different experience on changing Weblogic Admin Password – it depends on your Weblogic server and domain configuration. There is a very good step by step note on how to change Weblogic Admin Password, which lists all possible issues and gives solutions:

However in my case, I faced an issue that no matter what I tried, I got an error: 5 invalid login attempts, locking account for 30 minutes. Eventually I figured out there is a preferred credential configured in EM Grid Control that uses Weblogic admin account to monitor the Weblogic domain. After also changing the password in the EM Grid Control preferred credential, the issue was resolved.

Another note is to make sure you take a cold backup before trying to change the Weblogic admin password, so you can also restore back if things go wrong. Cheers!
