Hi,

what information does the PASSWORD column in the DBA_USERS view provide. I know that it's the encrypted user password, but how can I actually use it ?
For example: Can I reassign a password to a user via his encrypted password ?
or: Can I test a logon with another user's encrpyted user password to test the logon ?
I tried stuff like connect myuser/0CE92663BBC6FC34_at_MYDB, but that doesn't seem to work.

TIA ...
