    in sqlplus just type password
    it will ask your oldpassword
    then it will ask your newpassword

    what version of sqlplus you are using ?

    I tried just before on SQL*Plus 8, it should work. Idin't want to change mine. thats why it was showing error message.

    <font face=courier>
    SQL> password
    Changing password for SREDDY
    Old password: *****
    New password: *****
    Retype new password: *****
    New passwords do not match
    Password unchanged
    </font>

    You need SQL*PLus (and database) 8.0 or higher.
