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?
