ORA-28002: the password will expire within 5 days

Today one user written to me when he is trying to connect the database through toad getting the following error: ORA-28002: the password will expire within 5 days
Initially I have given him solution to set the PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME of the profile assigned user to UNLIMITED then change the password to avoid it permanently or simply change the password to avoid it temporarily.
SQL> SELECT profile FROM dba_users WHERE username = 'HRMS';
SQL> SELECT resource_name, LIMIT from dba_profiles where
     profile='DEFAULT';
SQL> SELECT * from  dba_profiles where profile='DEFAULT';
SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
SQL> SELECT ACCOUNT_STATUS FROM DBA_USERS WHERE
     USERNAME='HRMS';
Then connect with particular accounts and change the password.
SQL> PASSWORD
Changing password for HRMS
Old password:
New password:

Retype new password:

RMAN Different errors and their Solution

RMAN Different errors and their Solution Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error: RMAN-20035, RMAN-6038 When you attempt a backup and receive the following error messages: RMAN-3014: Implicit resync of recovery catalog failed RMAN-6038: Recovery catalog package detected an error RMAN-20035: Invalid high RECID error It indicates the control file and the recovery catalog is not synchronized.

You do not use catalog so RMAN does not get any information regarding this process.  The recovery catalog indicates that the highest RECID is 100, but the control file indicates that the highe...

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8 The national character set is used for data that is stored in table columns of the types NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, and NCLOB.  In contrast, the database character set is used for data stored in table columns of the types CHAR, VARCHAR2 and CLOB. Like the database character set, the national character set is defined when the database is initially created and can usually no longer be changed, at least not easily or without involving quite a lot of work (export, recreate database, import). Except when creating the database, where the national character set is defined explicitly, it can change implicitly even when upgrading the database from Oracle8i to Oracle9i (or Oracle10g). You require SYSDBA authorization to change the national character set. Changing the national character set means changing an Oracle Dictionary entry, but no data is changed.  $sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA SQL> Select property_...
