You don't indicate if you can still access the pages from the listener
on port 80 or port 9999. If your listener named WWW on port 80 is not
running, this sounds like you have configured an invalid virtual
directory mapping. Look at the file
<<ORACLE_HOME>>/ows21/log/svwww.err. It should list what directory it
is unable to locate. You could then correct this by modifying the
incorrect virtual directory in the Directory Mappings section for
configuration of this listener.

The username and password for the Administration Listener are abitrary, i.e., not stored in the database. Look in the [Security] section of the file <<ORACLE_HOME>>/ows21/admin/svadmin.cfg. It is here where you can modify the administrator username and password (for the Adminstration Web Listener).
