dear gentlemen;

i am merging two databases in one, i am done with everything, but i was thinking, instead of creating users from scratch, and ask them to change their default password if there was a way to get the old passwords of the users and put it in the new server(without affecting the database)
i know for a fact that the dba_users table cant be modified. i was wondering if i copy and merge the two old password files, will it work smoothly ?

any suggestions ?

thank you

Take the password hash value from dba_users.password and then use the undocumented statement:
alter user ... identifified by values '<the hashed value you found>';
