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

I have faced this similar issue and resolved it by using following steps :

1. Open windows command prompt.
2. Login using the command sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
3. Then executed the command alter user HR identified by password account unlock
   
   Please note, the password is the password that I have used.
   
   By using above steps you can connect to Oracle Database as user HR with the password password.
