Sandro... you have at least two choices:

1.-

select encrypted password from dba_users write it on your notebook.
alter the user password to whatever you want.
connect as the user
perform the grant
alter the password back to the original value using alter user xxx identified by values 'old_password' where old_password = the one that you wrote on the notebook

2.- create a procedure to do the grant...

create or replace procedure whatever_user.grant(priv varchar2) is begin execute immediate priv; end;
exec whatever_user.grant('grant select on emp to Sandro');
