If you have an old full export of the database, you can find in the
beginning of the file the users definitions
like: Create user <USER> identified by values '<some value>'
Search for the user you're interested in and get the encrypted password
'<some value>'
and run this command:
Alter user <USER> identified by values '<some value>' ;

It can be seen in dba_users. The table is sys.user$.
Once you've changed it, the old value is gone for good.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
When you alter a user's password, what table does it update?
I need to 'restore' a password for a user back to what it was before I
changed it, but do not know what it was.
Any ideas?? Can this be done?
Thanks,
Laura
