I've moved a lot of users from one database to another over the years. The easiest way to keep the existing password is to find it in sys.user$ and then use the identified by values clause. Worlds from 8i to 11G R2.

Since password are hashed, this will take some fancy footwork. I haven't tried this, but the approach seems like a decent candidate (unless the hashing algos change between versions).  

Thanks,

Does anybody have a dynamic sql script that pulls user definitions (including current passwords) into a text file? I need to move users from a 10g database over to an 11g database. They want to keep their current passwords.
