Sorry, you won't find one. The encryption is one way. If you guess the correct password, it will match the encrypted value, but the encrypted value will decrypt to many possible values. That is how encryption works.

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

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 ?
