Forgot Oracle username and password, how to retrieve?

Question

I have forgotten my Oracle username and password and hence not able to use it. My Oracle version is 11.2.0.1.0(11g). I consulted Internet. They asked me to execute commands

Answer 1

Go to SQL command line:- type:

sql>connect / as sysdba;

then type:

sql>desc dba_users;

then type:

sql>select username,password from dba_users;

If sysdba doesn't work then try connecting with username:scott and password: Tiger

You will be able to see all users with passwords. Probably you might find your's. Hope this helps
