How can I view the "active" OBIEE 12c repository in read-only mode

After using the data-model-cmd.cmd batch file to upload an RPD, that rpd becomes a sequentially numbered file in this directory:
"C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\bi\bidata\service_instances\ssi\metadata\datamodel\customizations
And I presume that the new sequentially numbered file (such as liverpd.rpd_2) is now the repository that is being actively used as the "live" repository by OBIEE.
Is there a way to open that "live" repository in the Administration Tool? If I attempt to do so, I am warned that I can only open it read-only. Yup, that's fine, that makes perfect sense. (It also means that I'm trying to open the "live" one. So far so good.) Then I am prompted for the Repository Password. Typing the correct repository password fails. A simple dialog appears: Logon Failed.
I am certainly typing the correct repository password. Is this perhaps a bug?

Doesn't work like that any more. That password is there for a reason (live RPDs in 12c are a LOT more complex than before) and no-one knows it - because you don't need it.
You can open the RPD online, or you can use data-model-cmd downloadrpd to get a copy of the current live version.

OK, very good. Thank you!
