ORA-28000: the account is locked error getting frequently

Question

I am getting the error :

 ORA-28000: the account is locked 

Is this a DB Issue? When I unlock user account using the comma

Answer 1

One of the reasons of your problem could be the password policy you are using.

And if there is no such policy of yours then check your settings for the password properties in the DEFAULT profile with the following query:

SELECT resource_name, limit
FROM dba_profiles 
WHERE profile = 'DEFAULT'
AND resource_type = 'PASSWORD';

And If required, you just need to change the PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME to unlimited with the following query:

ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
