How to change password version by myself in oracle?
If you have the proper permissions, you can change anyone's password. Of course, if you want to keep the password the same, just &quot;changing&quot; it so that it gets upgraded to new standards, you will need to know the current value.
And you don't have to expire it first. Expiring the password simply forces the user to set a &quot;new&quot; password the next time they log in. And even that depends on what client they are using. Some do not trap and handle expired passwords, and simply fail the logon.
