There is no (to my knowledge) publicly available crack for oracle user password (I don't believe Oracle ever revealed publicly what the algorythm used is).
However, you can save the previous password by taking the encrypted string. Then, if you need to use it again, you can run the command 'alter user <username> identified by values 'encrypted_password_string'; Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I hope it helps.
