Password error on Oracle InForm service start up

The Oracle InForm installation wizard cannot ensure that the password entered on the Account Configuration Window for the Local Machine User (pfUSR) meets the password requirements set for the machine. If you enter a password that does not conform to the Windows password requirements, an error will prevent the Oracle InForm service from starting.

  1. To change the pfUser password enter the following command at a DOS prompt:
    pfadmin install
  2. When prompted for the pfUSR password, enter a password that meets the password requirements.
  3. Run the following command to start the Oracle InForm service:
    new start pfservice

Use the pfadmin view service command to verify that the Oracle InForm service has started.
