Hello,

I have an unexpected issue trying to change an expired password and was wondering if anyone knows a simple answer!

I am using Oracle 12.1.0.1.0 SQLPLUS client and I have a user whose password has expired on an Oracle version 11 database. So, suppose I am that user and I enter the expired password...

sqlplus deano@tsimp

SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.1.0 Production on Tue Jan 6 10:03:25 2015

Enter password:

ERROR:
ORA-28001: the password has expired


Changing password for deano

Then I enter the new password details and retype new password details

New password:
Retype new password:

But get the following error:

Howdy, Stranger!
