You Asked

I set up my Oracle 11g Express Edition. I originally set it up with a System password. I forgot the password and I am wondering how I can retrieve it or how I can set up another password. I am locked out at the moment due to attempting to log on too many times. I know there is no support for free downloads, but I really need help and I was directed here by Oracle.

Thanks,

Michael

Start a command prompt (windows) or terminal (unix)

sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user system identified by your_new_password account unlock;


See how you go.
