If you have a dba account to the db, simply change his/her password so that they can have a new beginning. Management should have critical passwords stored away.

Hi Friends,

One of the DB another DBA working with has lost his passwords.

Can u tell me hw to regenerate the password file again?

will that affect the password of other schemas too?
