The admin account password was assigned during installation, and you should have been prompted for it. However, if you've forgotten it, it can be found as follows (I have Webserver 2.0, but this is almost certainly the same for 2.1):

• find and edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/ows2/admin/svadmin.cfg. This has all the config info for the admin (protected) listener.
• find the security security section. It begins with the line "[Security]".
• just below that header, you should see the line "(Users)", and the next line should say "admin: xxxxxxx". The xxxxxxx is the admin user's password (in plain text).

Good luck...
