## Invalid User or Password When Using `Don’t Prompt` Option

You are getting the error, `Invalid user or password`, but you installed the system with the `Don't Prompt` option, so the password should be supplied automatically.

### Description

The correct password may not have been specified during installation, or it may not be passed when the domain is started.

### Solution

Check the password in the `.asadminprefs` file. On UNIX/Linux systems, it is in the home directory for the user under which the server was installed. On Windows, it is in `C:\\Documents and Settings\\`username. The contents look something like this:

    AS_ADMIN_USER=admin
    AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=administrator
