When I try to start a weblogic server (which runs on another server) from my local machine I am getting below error. I can stop this weblogic server without any problem but I couldn't start. There are username and password fields in boot.properties file but I don't know what are they. Is there any idea?

<Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. 
Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: 
Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; 
The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.

i got this error when I accidentally changed the username and password in boot.properties and it took me a while to figure out the cause. it has the encrypted user name and password which is for the security purpose and to reset it I had to remove the encrypted user name and password and enter the correct one in the same pattern which that file expects. But still weblogic startup was failing and the reason was the due to LDAP connection which it was making with the wrong credentials which i entered before so i deleted the 'data' folder from the servers folder along with tmp, cache and security. It worked as the ldap was created with the new weblogic credentials.

Keep backup when u are doing any changes in the servers directory to revert back in case if the workaround is not helping.
