Reset the Oracle XE database password for OVM 3.1.1.

You have installed Oracle OVM with the bundled XE database and after a time, you find that you can no longer log into the OVM Admin console. You get an error similar to: Unexpected Error logging in.  Consult logs... What has probably happened is that the ovs database password has expired in XE.  Now using the XE environment is unsupported and for demo purposes only.  In fact the new version of OVM ships with a bundled MySQL database and no longer the XE.  Even better, the bundled MySQL database is supported in production environments.  So this post is obsolete even before I finish writing it. To be sure you are facing this problem, grep for OVMDS in /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs/AdminServer.log ####<Jan 28, 2013 12:19:51 PM NZDT> <Warning> <JDBC> <ovm.e-it.co.nz> <AdminServer> <Odof Tcp Client Thread: /127.0.0.1:54321/128430> <<anonymous>> <> <0000JcuiwIkCslYFLrfP8A1GSLRc0
