Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

How to recover system database user password?

Dec 28, 2021 4:35PM in Database Security Products (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered

I mistakenly changed the password for system database user, and now I can´t login using the new password - probably wrong typed:

[oracle@dp-db1 ~]$ sqlplus system

SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.2.0 Production on Tue Dec 28 12:45:53 2021

Enter password:

ERROR:

ORA-12532: TNS:invalid argument

How can I recover system user password?

Is it possible to recover it without stopping database?
