Hi,

I had recently enabled database vault in Oracle 11gr2. Unfortunately I forgot the password of "database vault owner"
Now, if I try to reset the password of database vault owner from SYS or SYSTEM, its saying insufficient privileges. This is due to DB vault restricting SYS or SYSTEM user as the privilege alter user is removed.

Even for DB vault account manager, the password is same Sad

SQL> alter user dbvowner identified by *****;
alter user dbvowner identified by ****
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Can anyone please let me know how to reset the password of database vault owner .

Thanks Michel.
I missed this point.. I was looking out without disabling the db vault.
