don't do that -- use ALTER USER <username> IDENTIFIED BY <password>; If you have some special 'encrypted' value you really want it to be use ALTER USER <username> IDENTIFIED BY VALUES '<values>';
updating the data dictionary like that is not a safe thing to do (and besides, the password is cached elsewhere as we only expect it to be changed by the alter user command, not by an update -- thats why it doesn't 'take' until you bounce the instance)....
