10g Database SYSTEM user account unlock

I wish to permanently unlock my SYSTEM user account. I have tried:
alter user SYSTEM identified by xxx account unlock;
After running the command I can logon successfully one time to the SYSTEM account then it is automatically locked again. The next time I try to logon I have to unlock the account again.
How can I make the unlock permanent?

1. Modify the password used by oraperf.dll
The 10g Windows documentation informs customers to run a tool called operfcfg to change the password.
To set the system password, enter the following: operfcfg.exe -U SYSTEM -P password -D TNS_ALIAS_FOR_DDATATBASE
See Oracle Database Installation for Windows 10g guide, section 4: Configuring Oracle Components; Configuring Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor
or
2. Disable oraperf.dll
NOTE: This step should only be performed by knowledgable Windows System Administrator's:
To disable the oraperf.dll, modify the following key in the registry. HKeyLocalMachine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Oracle10\Performance. Change the value for Library to "notthere_oraperf.dll" from "oraperf.dll".

Is your OS account a member of the local group "ora_dba"?

Deleting iTunes & System User Account on OS X 10.8.1

Hi There,
I am trying to delete a previously created user ID and I am unable to do it. I tried on the preference, user & groups. That has been removed but the removed ID still appears in the iTunes and when I install any new application, the new application is installed into the previous ID's system folder.
How can I remove that ID from the Max System and also from the iTunes?
Thanks.

Users on your computer are totally different from users in the iTunes Store (which are based on Apple IDs), if that's what you're talking about. And iTunes has nothing to do with installing Applications, nor is there a different System folder for different users. So your question is rather confusing.
Can you explain in more detail WHERE you're seeing this user name, how you're installing applications and exactly where they're ending up?

How many user accounts on one computer?

I did search but found nothing directly relevant. We have one laptop with one administrator account. How many user accounts besides mine am I allowed?
Thanks in advance :o)

Ah good, 10 or less will work for sure then.
More than one account can be logged in at a time? How does that work?
In System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on Login Options, at the bottom enable Fast User Switching.
Sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen maybe?
Maybe the opposite!
If you have enough RAM & HD Free Space it allows others to use the Mac without you quitting all your work, and it keeps things separate. Great if you have young ones using it because you can make managed accounts & control which APPs they can use & other things... and without them destroying your data.

How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to star affresh. Thank you.

How can I format my intell based imac without the original Tiger discs? I have a user account on it that I dont want. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I want to to start affresh. Thank you. I have tried loading the Snow Leopard disc whilst holding down th C key but it goes straight into install mode. I am new to Macs and I have inherited this machine.

Hello, many options...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
Or...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

Transfer Reports from one user account to another

Hi,
We use oracle discoverer 4.1, due to HIPAA the dba had to create new userids for our current users and lock the old ones, how do I transfer the reports stored in database one user account to another ?
for e.g user abc123 has a report <abc.dis> stored in database he now has to use a new userid xyz123, he doesnt see <abc.dis>, how do I transfer this?
I know the work around.. to save all reports from database to a network and open in the new user account, but we don't want users to do that, is there any other way?
Thanks,
Latha

To avoid permission issues log into the account where the files are. Then transfer them to an external drive or a flash drive or jump drive. Then log into the account where you want them. Then copy them to the account.

Replication of data from LDAP to Oracle 10g Database

Hi All,
in our application we are using Oracle Identity manager, and Oracle 10g database.
we are storing the user,profile and privilages in LDAP and due to some reason we have to create user table in the 10g database.
this user table values and LDAP user table values must be same.
here the source is LDAP and destination is Oracle.
so is there any way we can synchoronize or replicate the data from LDAP to 10g database?
since oracle identity manager is integrated with LDAP,
i feeel this must be possible.
but really dont know how?
kindly suggest me.
and if any examples available please let me know, i will be very greatful to you.
Thanks in advance

Copying Homefolder to new user account

Hello community.
I am entering unchartered territory. Let be back up a little and try from scratch.
I have filevault enabled and it has sucked the the GB's out of my little baby. I dont have enough memory to turn it off, so I have dumped and trashed all I could spare, but it is not registering and still holds on to everything in a sparsebundle.
Based on earlier advise, I have decided to create a new account and transfer my data to the new account.
I have now started backing up 400GB of stuff from my homefolder to a folder on an external hard drive, but now I am unsure if it is that simple.
Is it necessary to transfer files to an interim disk image or is it ok just to a folder?
I tried creating a disk image, but I wasnt given the option to 'choose sparse' from the drop down menu in Disk utility.
Meanwhile I am also confused as to why there are zero items in my applications folder located in my 'homefolder'
The applications folder in my hard drive is stacked with my apps'
Any advice is very welcome

Go to system prefrences>accounts>unlock your home folder, recreate home folder(admin) with new accounts recreate new folder and account as wel new create key chain.

Cannot change anything in user account and family safety, even logging as an administrator account.

My 1st user account was an administrator account, 2nd user account was a standard account. 3rd user account was a guest account of window 8 single language, however i accidentally made a mistake by setting guest account from standard account to become an
administrator account. I also set down the 1st user account from administrator to standard account and after these stupid settings, the guest account becomes administrator account anyone can access in without any password, the 1st and 2nd accounts become standard
accounts! Before this mistake, the 1st user account was the main account of mine, 2nd and 3rd (guest account) were logged in very rarely.
The problem is when i logged in guest account as administrator, i cannot set the 1st or 2nd back to become another administrator account. Something has gone strange, it has been prevented me to set the others to be administrator and the guest back to standard
account. Being as an administrator account, the guest account was totally useless in changing settings. When i logged in with 1st and 2nd account, i also cannot change anything in the user account settings (change type of user account) and family safety, all
attempts to change the user account settings was useless such as i never tried. I also tried "refresh your computer without losing files" but not worked. Please provide me some advices!
I did not find the forum for win 8 single language, so i place my question here.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to go to safe mode of win 8 by holding the shift key while clicking "restart" on the login screen. (My login screen now shows 3 account users). Then i chose troubleshoot -> advanced options -> windows startup
settings-> i went to safe mode. The safe mode only showed a complete black screen with an only window: "Administrator: cmd.exe". I did as you said (typing NETPLWIZ) and the User accounts window appeared. I went to "properties" of each
user account and set 1st and 2nd accounts to Administrator but got the error: "This user cannot be added. Access is denied." and another error window: "Usert accounts: the group membership for ... could not be updated."
Yesterday, i went to elevated command prompt as an administrator and typed "net user administrator /active:yes" with hope that the built-in administrator would be activated and i would use it for full control settings of 3 other user accounts.
But i got the error: "system error 5. Access is denied."
Now, my position is quite bad. Login with guest account which was set as administrator, i still can not have full control of this laptop, so that all attempts of mine to change the user account settings is denied. This guest account also does not have a
password at all so that everyone can open my computer without typing a password. Because access is denied, i cannot set a password for the guest account even now it is the administrator account and i am loging in it.
p/s: I tried to refresh the system but still got the error: "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made". And i also tried to restore the system, but got the error: "System restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's
system files and settings were not changed. Details: A volume shadow copy service component encountered an unexpected error. Check the Application event log for more information (0x80042302)"
I went in registry editor in safe mode and did as you said but there was no "AutoAdminLogon", "DefaultUserName", "DefaultPassword". I only saw "AutoLogonSID" and other different names...
The problem i got half year ago has still remained and recently i made this mistake. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8ebd868c-bdfd-412e-95a6-9dc0095d431c/cannot-paste-any-online-pictures-from-any-websites-into-wordpowerpointonenote-2013?forum=officeitpro
I am a young woman who always creates mistakes when setting computer because of my carelessness.
Hi,
These phenomenon should be access rights problem, you need to check your current system User Accounts status. In my opinion, your administrator account probably disabled.
Open Run, type LUSRMGR.MSC, press Enter.
Then check your current system account which Group they are belongs to.
If there is any progress, please feel free let me know.

After sql server 2012 installation, I have changed sql server database engine service account from network service user to system user. What is disadvantages of this process?

     After
sql server 2012 installation, I   attached my production db. Because of some reasons, i
changed sql engine account from network service user to system user by means of sql server configuration manager.
     Now , there isn’t
a problem at sql server running system. But
I have doubts that
this can produce problems later. Because sql server database engine account must have privileges that listed below;
Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
Replace a process-level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)
Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
Permission to start SQL Writer
Permission to read the Event Log service
Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service
While sql server installation, setup gives these
privileges to network service user automatically, but changing user by means of sql confugarition manager does not give these
privileges.
Now, system user has privileges listed below. And sql server has been running for 1,5 months without any problems.
Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
     Bypass traverse checking
(SeChangeNotifyPrivilege) (Everyone user has his privileges. So i think that system user has this privilege also)
What problems can occur because of this situation? Shall i give other privileges to system user and restart sql server or not? And how can i give these privileges to system user listed below;
Replace a process-level token (
this can be set from user rights assignments)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(this can be set from user rights assignments)
Permission to start SQL Writer (
? - give advice )
Permission to read the Event Log service (
? - give advice )
Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service (
? - give advice )

Our server is windows server 2008 r2 enterprise edition. I have looked the bunch of permissions in user rights menu that is in local security policy settings gui.
And i have seen those permissions below were not granted to system user;
Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
Adjust memory quotas for a process
(SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
So, briefly you say, don't panic ?

SYSTEM user's accounts get locks automatically

Oracle SYSTEM user's account gets lock automatically after every 4-5 days. I user to run following query which unlocks the account:
SQL:\>ALTER USER system ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
How I can stop this happening? I am not able to alter profile for unlimited attempts also.
Is there any workout, please help me....

In my opinion, you should immediately find out who constantly tries to guess the password of system instead of making it possible for him to try that indefinitely without locking the account. That is like switching off the annoying alert sirene if someone constantly tries to break in.
You should

Unlocking user account...

The Oracle 10g database seems to have locked a user out. The problem is that the user that has been locked out is the administrator and only the administrator can unlock a user.
How to unlock an administrator?
Thanks!

If you are in Unix probably you can connect with the oracle user (the one that owns the oracle installation) and connect as "/as sysdba" and unlock the user.
Example:
/home/oracle] $ sqlplus
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production on Tue Dec 19 18:49:36 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Enter user-name: /as sysdba
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
SQL> alter user administrator account unlock;
User altered.In windows you can do the following:
D:\>set ORACLE_SID=DBA
D:\>sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Dec 19 18:56:41 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
connect /as sysdba;

ANY IDEAS !!!!!!!!!!!

Unlock user account

I have two major issues.
1) while installing Oracle 10g home by using password management I unlocked sysyem account. then by using this query " alter user system account lock" I locked it. when I tried to unlock it gain with the same query "lter user system account unlock", it is not unlocking. it is showing "Not Connected".And also it is showing " ora-01031:insufficient system privileges" .Please suggest how to unlock it.
2)Apart from OracleDBConsoleorcl service very other services are starting up. While starting OracleDBConsoleorc service it is showing "the file can't find the file specified".
I set the path as "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_SandeepaRout_orcl" were SandeepaRout is my computer name.
in cmd while I ran the command emctl it shows "EM Configuration issue. C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1/172.16.1.131_'PLSExtProc'; not found " this error.
'PLSExtProc' is the oracle_sid.
I think there is something missmatch in the path.
Please suggest what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1- With which user are you logged in in order to unlock SYSTEM account?
Did you try with SYS as SYSDBA?
2- You need to set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID.
What 'emctl status dbconsole' gives you ?
What 'emctl start dbconsole' gives you ?
Path should point to C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin
Thanks,
Thierry
