Re: Help with passwords

The script below will generate a script that can be used to restore the userid to its original state.

select 'alter user ' || username || ' identified by values ''' || password || '''' || ' default tablespace ' || default_tablespace ||' temporary tablespace ' || temporary_tablespace || ' ;'
from sys.dba_users where username = 'supply your username';

Hi all,

I've got a little question, which i can't find simply on metalink. I've got one user with a not know password and i want to temporary change it;s password.
I know it is possible to save the hex-key in dba_users. But how can i change it back to that hex-key?

I need temporary this user account and can change the password, but i want to change it back to the original.

Thx anyway,
Marco
