    Question

    Is anyone familiar with this error when reseting passwords
    in Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on Windows NT?

    I expired my system passord and I cannot renew the passwor
    because of some bug (1225555)
    Oracle says that the bug has been fixed in
    release 8.1.7.

    SQL> alter user system password expire;

    User altered.


    SQL> connect system/navs!ne3x@risk
    Changing password for system
    New password: ********
    Retype new password: ********
    ERROR:
    ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)


    I there a work around this? How can I reset the password
    using Server Manager?

    Please help!!!!

    svrmgrl
    SVRMGR> connect internal
    SVRMGR> alter user system identified by YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD;
    SVRMGR> exit

    This would change the password for SYSTEM.
