    Hi,

    You will have to do the following steps:

    1. See the encrypted password from dba_users and note it down.
    2. Change the password of the user using alter user command.
    3. Login to the user and do the changes you want.
    4. Issue the following command:

    alter user username identified by values '
    Once you do these things, then Oracle recognises the old password.

    Vijay.
