Vincent,

You haven't adequately (for me, at least) explained what you're trying to do. What exactly do you want to accomplish?

There is no script that converts encrypted/hashed passwords to plain text, and if there were, I'm sure Oracle would be interested in hearing about it. Protected passwords are a basic component of Oracle security.

i thought of doing a insert into mytable values (username,password); in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql <http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch53. htm#1005955> but i don't wanne edit or write anything more looking for a scritp that converts the hase to plain text

Not exactly sure what you want to do, but you might google for the undocumented "alter user XXX identified by values..." command. It will let you set the passwords back to what they were without knowing them.

	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 ?
