PASSWORDS

[andypara]

When I select username,password from dba_users I get something like this

USERNAME PASSWORD

W12 1653F8262E4F5BA8
DEMO DD9FD1922A0AFC29
S4V52 7CC5B1DE8CD9F3DB
S4V5FGTGGH 1A7F9935D8662CE1

These look like HEX codes to me. How can I get the actual text for the passwords?

As mentioned in your other thread, what you are asking is impossible.

Why do you need to know the password? If you've just forgotten it, the simplest solution is to alter it to some known value.
