Don't confuse "password expired" and "account locked".
In the former you have to change the password or ask your DBA to change it if you are no more in the grace period.
In the later, ask your DBA to execute the command BlackSwan gave.

What does the following return?

SQL> SELECT ACCOUNT_STATUS FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME='OPS$ORACLE';
