APEX user admin is locked / Unlock user

Hi,

recently I had accidentally locked my admin user through multiple wrong login attempts.
I was looking for a solution for that and after exploring different ways, I have found out that the easiest option is the following:
  1. Go into your apex installation directory (usually $ORACLE_HOME/apex)
  2. Login to your DB via sqlplus as "sysdba"
  3. Execute: @apxchpwd
The script not only changes the password for the admin user, BUT ALSO UNLOCKS IT!
