          You probably changed the roles of the admin user, maybe you used something like:
          sr = cmo.getSecurityConfiguration().getDefaultRealm();
rm = sr.lookupRoleMapper('XACMLRoleMapper');
expr = rm.getRoleExpression(None,'Admin');
print expr;
rm.setRoleExpression(None,'Admin',expr+'|Usr(employee)');
          and forgot to add the old groups and users to the admin role.

          You can try editing your boot.properties and enter a valid user which has the admin role.
          The boot.properties file is locate in the <domain-home>/servers/AdminServer/security directory.

          If this does not help, you can use the embedded LDAP backup files, locate in the <domain-home>/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap/backup.
          Replace the existing files (in the /data/ldap/ldapfiles directory) with the backed-up ones.

          Or delete the whole ldap directory and let the files be re-created on server start-up

            The issue is with the Admin user only. Either the roles of the user has been changed or incorrect credentials are being used to boot the server.
            Try creating new Administrator account for the Admin Server .
            steps are available here : http://www.weblogic-tips.com/wls-security/
