As salamualikum (islamic greetings), brothers and sisters. :)

Hope you are well with the grace of Almighty Allah (swt).

Today we talk on issue of Oracle Database password Expired issues show version 11g and on words.

What will you see ? 

Solution:: 

1. Connect to Database with SYS DBA.

For Example

C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin>SQLPLUS/NOLOG

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Fri May 23 19:53:42 2014

Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

SQL> CONN SYS/SYSTEM11g AS SYSDBA

2. Execute the following query
3. Sql > select * from dba_profiles;

You will see something like bellow… (Shortened)

1.  PROFILE              RESOURCE_NAME             RESOURCE LIMIT

2.  -------------------- ------------------------- -------- ---------------

3.  DEFAULT              FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS     PASSWORD 10

4.  MONITORING_PROFILE   PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME        PASSWORD DEFAULT

5.  DEFAULT              PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME        PASSWORD 180

6.   

7.  PROFILE              RESOURCE_NAME             RESOURCE LIMIT

8.  -------------------- ------------------------- -------- ---------------

9.  MONITORING_PROFILE   PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME       PASSWORD DEFAULT

10.DEFAULT              PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME       PASSWORD UNLIMITED

11. 

12.32 rows selected.

4. Here PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME field is responsible for expiring of password after 180 days.

5.  Execute following command to disable this feature:
6. Sql> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED; 

7. Now crosscheck for disabling of this feature.
8. Sql > select * from dba_profiles;

9. The value in PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME has changed to unlimited. Now password will never expire.

 You are almost DONE

 Now reset the password of locked user. 
Here are two options to reset password. 
Either you can keep same password or you can give a new password.

One is..

 

 You are Done :)

Pray for me to Almighty Allah (swt) to keep it up and for my hereafter.
