Subject: RE: Reverse engineer passwords
Get the encrypted password by typing
SELECT PASSWORD FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = 'MYUSER'; It will display the password as something like this;
PASSWORD
You would then replace the password by using ALTER USER MYUSER IDENTIFIED BY NEW_PASSWORD; Run your applications.
If you need to reset the password issue the following command
ALTER USER MYUSER IDENTIFIED BY VALUES 'F83A16803G10C05A'; Which will reset the user to the original password.

Hi,
You can store the encrypted password in a table, change your password as you like, test your application, if it fails then you know where to look because probably the password will be somewhere in the application or you can put the encrypted pasword back in de original table.
good luck

I hope it's not possible to do this reverse engeneering for it would mean a serious security-problem.
