Tags: oracle, password, system, recover

Hello,

  I got a new job, with oracle 7 under old hp-unix system, they have an old application developed with oracle forms (3 i think) and based on oracle 7, the system running since around 12 years,and I  talked with guy who admin the server and the application, and I got few users/password from him for the Root password, and an user to backup the database(not an oracle user), and the oracle user for the application

now the problem that admin(who should be), don't know the oracle system password, he's only export the data from the application user, and run/shutdown the server. and BELEIVE IT OR NOT, No one there know the password of oracle system user, or any dba user :-o.

  So, if I have the root password, can I get the oracle system password?, or change it

Regards,
