Re: Password-Tool

In fact, SQL*Plus (the command-line version, not iSQL*Plus) offers a PASSWORD command. From the manual:

PASSW[ORD] [username]

Allows you to change a password without echoing it on an input device.

If you want to change your current password, enter

PASSWORD
Changing password for your_password
Old password: your_password
New password: new_password
Retype new password: new_password
Password changed
