Answer 1

If you login to WebSphere console, and navigate to Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers, you should see that your Host Name is not localhost:
You have at least three options for resolving this issue...
Option 1
Start wsadmin using the host and port params:
wsadmin.bat -lang jython -username [username] -password [password] -host [hostname shown in image 1] -port [your WAS console port]
Note that this option might lead to the following error:
SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN:NNNN has
not been defined.
... which is beyond the scope of this answer but can be resolved with a bit of googling.
Option 2
Start wsadmin with the conntype parameter set to NONE.
wsadmin.bat -lang jython -username [username] -password [password] -conntype NONE
You may not be able to accomplish everything you need to do using wsadmin (eg. if you have to perform work against server nodes), but it will allow you to perform certain functions, like change your hostname (option 3).
Option 3
Change your host name to 127.0.0.1. Using Option 2, connect using conntype of NONE and change your server's host name. Refer to this guide http://java.boot.by/ibm-317/apas02.html for the steps on how to do that. Once you've change the host name, restart WebSphere and you should then be able to connect to wsadmin without the conntype or host/port parameters. Note that these commands have to be run directly against the server that you want to change, so make sure you start wsadmin from the right profile folder (not WebSphere\AppServer\bin):
cd c:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ODMSample8810\bin\
wsadmin.bat -lang jython -username [username] -password [password] -conntype NONE
wsadmin>myserver = AdminConfig.list('ServerIndex')
wsadmin>AdminConfig.modify(myserver, "[[hostName 127.0.0.1]]")
wsadmin>AdminConfig.show(myserver, 'hostName')
wsadmin>AdminConfig.save()
