A standard method is to change the password in the account, then set it back to the original
using the encrypted value after the task is done. I don't recall the details since it's been many
years since I used it. Would this meet your needs?

	Hi Experts,
	
	I have a question that's a bit unethical. 
	
	For a company i'm working for i need to find out what the

passwords are of oracle users. As changing them means a lot of work for allot of poeple.         

        Is there anyway i can clear text the password from dba database, i have sysdba and all privs.         

        any points would be nice also i want to put this into script so if anyone has something ?
