The Password Management dialog box allows you to change the default password for a user after you create the database. For security reasons, all users are locked except for the following users:
If you have enabled Local Management with Oracle Enterprise Manager, the SYSMAN and DBSNMP accounts are also unlocked. These accounts provide Enterprise Manager with access to the database so it can gather monitoring data and so you can perform administration tasks with Enterprise Manager.
If you have enabled Central Management with Oracle Enterprise Manager, the DBSNMP is unlocked, as well as the SYS and SYSTEM user accounts.
You can use this page of the Assistant to unlock other database users; or, you can unlock users at a later time using Oracle Enterprise Manager or the command line tool, SQL*Plus.
The following table describes the columns in the table of database users.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| User Name | This column shows the name of the user account. |
| Lock Account? | Select or clear this column to unlock the account and reset the user password. |
| New Password | If you unlock a database user account, you must enter a password for the user in this field. |
| Confirm Password | Enter the password again to verify the password. |
Note: To prevent unauthorized use of the database, Oracle recommends that you change all user passwords immediately after you create or upgrade your database.
