I agree with using the revoke session solution.

All the same you can change a user's password to something else and change it back again without ever knowing what it was:

select 'alter user scott identified by values '''||password||''';' from dba_users where username = 'SCOTT'; put away the result
change the password to something else
change the password back again to what it was previously:

execute the result of the first point.

But then how do you know what to change it back to? I'd steer away from this - head w/ the revoke create session
