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).
