During Steve's Miracle Master Class a couple of years ago I asked the = same question to Steve. I had the same response... but he also added "If = you are able to use it, you are able to find the password!".=20 In some ways I agree, but I must admit that I didn't like the answer = that much... (sorry Steve) Anyway, after 5 or 10 minutes or so I was = able to find it (I believe that also Steve didn't manage to get it in 30 = seconds!)

Now, if you are looking for it since three days, it's time, in my = opinion, to give you a tip...

1. When you start BBED you get something like this:

oracle_at_trantor:/u00/app/oracle/ [B1020] bbed Password:

2) Now, if you think about it a bit, as suggest by Tanel, you should end = up executing the following statement:

oracle_at_trantor:/u00/app/oracle/ [B1020] strings `which bbed` | grep -i = password
