Profiles and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME

Hi everyone,

I create a profile with the value 4 for "FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS" and the value "5/1440" for "PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME".
Then assign that profile to the user scott.

I attempt to login 4 times with a wrong password and after that oracle locks the login for 5 miniutes. (Obviously)

After 5 miniutes, the account is unlocked but it's status is "Expired (Grace)".

I don't get it. I thought Grace period is the one that starts with the first login attempt after password expiration.

Any Idea. :confused:

Thanks in advance

so whats the problem? you still need to login with the correct password

The problem is that I have to change the password, like when the password is expired.
