Re: Lost Password problem

yes, you can bring up a command window and type in EXP It should prompt you through the export options. EXPort is a batch utility and you can read about it in the oracle utilities manual.

I think that the problem you are having with OEM is that OEM keeps it's own set of usernames internally (in it's repository). It is saying that the OEM user id ( not the database user id) that you are logged on under does not sufficient credentals.
