This is an 'su.sql' script I use in sqlplus:
column password new_value pw
declare
l_passwd varchar2(45);
begin
select password into l_passwd
from sys.dba_users
where username = upper('&1');
select password
from sys.dba_users
where username = upper( '&1' )
/
alter user &1 identified by Hello;
connect &1/hello
alter user &1 identified by values '&pw';
show user
whenever sqlerror continue
--------------------------- eof -------------------------
it starts by testing your access to the sys.dba_users table -- if that fails -- it exits. If zero rows returned -- it exits.
It then selects the 'password' from the dba_users table and stuffs it into a macro variable "&pw"
We alter the user you want to become to have a known password (if that fails, we exit).
We 'fix' their password back after loggin in as them....
Note, you need to have access to dba_users and the alter user privelege.
