Disabling security for Websphere Application Server

Quite a few times I've got my WAS installations having their security settings corrupted thereby denying me login into the admin console.
Here's how you disable security in such cases (of course you need to have root access to shell )

vim /opt/IBM/PE/AppServer/profiles/profile_name/config/cells/instance_name/security.xml

in the first line disable security

useLocalSecurityServer="false"
enabled="false"

Now login with any name, troubleshoot the login issues and switch it back.
