sqlplus and passwords
Hope I'm in the right place to ask this.
... and I'm a total noob by the way.
When changing an account password through telnet, everything seems fine. I can telnet back in afterward, but if I try to use sqlplus to get in it tells me password invalid. If I try to get in through sqlplus with the old password, then it tells me that password is invalid.
Any ideas?
Need more info?
Thanks
