How do I turn off password expiration

Answer 1

I believe that the password expiration behavior, by default, is to never expire. However, you could set up a profile for your dev user set and set the PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME. See the orafaq for more details. You can see here for an example of one person's perspective and usage.
