I am facing a very unique situation here in Oracle DB.
I am facing "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" error while logging in to my Oracle user using sqlplus.
Basic information about the system:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production.
2 database servers in cluster environment using Oracle clustering.
Please note that while using TOAD the user logs in perfectly however. The DB is accessible from toad using the connection details to login an individual db. It fails from TOAD while using the Cluster Scan-IP.
Following steps were performed before i started getting this issue.
I was getting a warning message from the Oracle for my user to change the password as it is expiring. Usually in situations like this i will reuse the same password however in this case it was not allowing me to reuse the same password. So I followed this link.
Now I am not able to login my user and I am even not able to completely change the password of my user and login.
Please advise with what went wrong.
Hi I am not sure exactly what your problem is, but these are the steps we follow to reuse a password:
get user profile
change profile to default
ALTER PROFILE "DEFAULT" LIMIT PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME UNLIMITED;
ALTER PROFILE "DEFAULT" LIMIT PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX UNLIMITED;
change password
ALTER PROFILE "DEFAULT" LIMIT PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME 120;
change profile back
Good luck!
The issue was caused because of special characters. I didn't imagine that "$" would be such a big deal in passwords. Anyway please find a work around for it here.

I just downloaded the Oracle Database 11g and I can't select,create,update or do anything. Every command that I entered and run only results to "ORA-01435: user does not exist"
What are the things that i need to do in order to enable creating and running some commands?
Here is a picture of ORA-01435: user does not exist
Please look at right upper corner SCHEMA:XS$NULL:
From Securing Oracle Database User Accounts
XS$NULL
An internal account that represents the absence of a user in a session. Because XS$NULL is not a user, this account can only be accessed by the Oracle Database instance. XS$NULL has no privileges and no one can authenticate as XS$NULL, nor can authentication credentials ever be assigned to XS$NULL.
Expired and locked
You need to change it to some specific schema.
I have successfully installed Oracle REST Database Services version 3.0.4.60.12.48. I am able to access Oracle Apex but when I create a web-service and click on test button I get this error.
Error during evaluation of resource template: GET hr/employees/,
SQL Error Code: 28000,
SQL Error Message: ORA-28000: the account is locked
I have tried connecting to Oracle_apex_public user and every other user to check if any account is locked but I am able to connect to these account with SQLDeveloper.
I have also tried reinstalling and changing default tablespace inside ORDS configuration files, but still it's not working.
If anyone has an idea what is going wrong, please help.
Thank you for the response.
I manage to solve the issue, the cause was i was using same Passwords for all apex public and sys changing th
My company has a database for vehicle tracking system. And It has a website for user to log on and use.
After I change the sys and the main user password through "ALTER USER --- identified by' command. The website login became dysfunctional. Our DBA just quit so I have no idea how to troubleshoot.
Is there any guideline I can use?
It appears as though the application has the passwords either hardcoded or in a configuration file somewhere. If you can find where that is, then simply changing the corresponding values (ie passwords) should resolve the problem. If that doesn't work, you can try to change the password back to the what they were before using the same syntax you used to make the initial change ... "ALTER USER --- identified by ...
Can possibly be more help if you can tell what web server is hosting your site.
I'm just getting started with Oracle data export and import and things worked perfectly fine the first time around. But then I came back next day repeated the exact same steps on the same systems, but get ORA-01435: user does not exist error.
System Specs for all machines:
-OS: Windows 2012 R2 x64
-Oracle Server: Oracle 11G Express x64
Objective:
I'm exporting data from Oracle server 1 and importing to Oracle server 2.
Procedure:
Export data dump is successful from Oracle server 1.
but when importing the data dump on Oracle server 2, I follow this procedure:
-Stop IIS service
net stop WAS
Create Schema/user account and Grant privileges before import
net stop WAS
sqlplus / as sysdba;
CREATE user PIE1 identified by PASS1;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO PIE1;
GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO PIE1;
According to oracle, all goes well, but look at the first image bellow. In DBeaver, I can see that only the User account PIE1 has been created, but NO schema.
Oracle issue 1. User account created, but not the Schema
Question 1: According to Oracle, the command "Create User" IS supposed to also create an associated Schema. Anyone have an idea why this is no longer working for me? It worked once the night before.
I then continue the import procedure as follows:
imp PIE1/PASS1#xe file=c:\Backups\AVUSER2_6_7.dmp log=c:\Backups\import.log fromuser=AVUSER2_6_7 touser=PIE1;
But get the following error:
Oracle claims the User doesn't exist even though it does
Oracle claims the User doesn't exist even though it does. I repeated the entire procedure and even created an identical import/export user account and credentials, and this error still comes up.
Question 2: Any idea why Oracle "Can't find" a user account that's clearly in the database?
Additional Info:
Checked that my windows account is in admin group
Checked that my windows account is in ORA_DBA group
Opened all CMD prompt as Admin
As you implied, users and schemas as the same in Oracle, you can't have a user without a schema. No idea about DBeaver, but as there are other users that aren't listed under 'schemas' (according to your second image - ANONYMOUS, DIP, ...) that seems to be unrelated.
(Purely a guess, but perhaps the user you're connect as in DBeaver just doesn't have visibility of any objects owned by those users - maybe it only lists users it can see in all_objects, say. Pure speculation, but you could investigate that by looking at the data dictionary while connect through SQL*Plus as the same user. According to this old forum post, there is an option to hide empty schemas...)
The import is connecting successfully as PIE1 - you'd get a different error, ORA-01017, if it wasn't and you wouldn't see the 'Connected to...' banner or anything after that.
Your import command has a trailing semicolon that should not be there. The "importing ... objects into" message shows that it's trying to import into the PIE1; user and not the one you actually created, PIE1. Remove that semicolon and try again.
Incidentally, you can probably also remove the #xe TNS alias and stick to a local connection, assuming the environment is configured as it was whenyou ran SQL*Plus. You should also consider using datapump expdp/impdp rather than the legacy exp/imp.
I am getting the following error while connecting to db for checking db timings through QTP scripts:
"Cannot update system time with database time due to error: ERROR: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-28000: the account is locked"
But the database SID and credentials given are correct and verified the same in some db client. I am not sure why its throwing error in QTP?
Can anyone please help me resolve the issue?
1) Login to your Oracle Database using admin privileges:
cmd> sqlplus / as sysdba
or
cmd> sqlplus system/{systemPassword}#{OracleSID}
2) Unlock your user's account using the following command:
sql> alter user {yourDbUser} account unlock;
3) Still in SQL*Plus command prompt, prevent account locks to not occur again:
sql> ALTER PROFILE "DEFAULT" LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
sql> ALTER PROFILE "DEFAULT" LIMIT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED;
Edit due comment
The above instructions should solve your problem. I'm posting an additional command I've found related to this subject you can try (I'm not confident it is the solution though):
sql> grant connect, resource to {yourDbUser};
You can also check for the status of other locked users in your database. Maybe your tool is trying to connect with some other user that, besides the one you are using, still have this issue.
This solution is for Oracle 10g and error ORA-28000:the account is locked
Type in the SQL Command Line:
conn sys as sysdba
enter password
alter user system account unlock;
