How can I set a password containing punctuation?

I tried this:
alter user <user> identified by <password>;
where <password> has punctuation. I got:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
so I quoted the password and got:
ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)
How do I set a password that contains punctuation? TIA.

Thank you very much. That worked fine. I think earlier I tried using single quotes instead of double quotes, and single quotes did not work.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

    How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

    You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
    For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

  • How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

    How can I set a password on my Mac Mini?  Someone else is reading my emails.  I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password.  Is that possible?  How?

    So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
    You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
    You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 how can you set a password on an event or album?

    I am downloading pictures from my iphone 4 to my iphoto on my mac and I wanted to set a password on a certain group of pictures and was wondering how to do that for the iPhoto 8.1.2 version.

    You can't. It's not a feature of iPhoto.
    For photos you want to hide from Mommy, put them in a Library stored on an encrypted disk image.

  • How can I set a password to a specific folder?

    I've got an external hard drive with some files in it that I don't want other people to see. How is it possible to set a password to a folder so that I am the only person that can open that folder? If thats not possible, is it possible to set a password for the whole drive? ie the external HD is only accessible and its contents visible if a password is given when prompted?
    Thanks all.

    Numerous ways. Put a period in front of the name, e.g., ".foldername" or ".filename" that makes them invisible. Just be sure you remember the names! Or you can use third-party software to make them invisible then visible when needed. Search for "hide folder" at VersionTracker or MacUpdate for listing of such utilities.

  • How can I set up password-protected Guest account

    Hi everyone
    I need to set up password-protected guest account. The aim is to get:
    a) an account with password. So only authorized person can use it.
    b) all changes in this account should be overwritten at log-off, just like Guest account behaves.
    So I need either to find a way to set password for Guest, either create a 'normal' account and somehow automate it self-cleaning at logoff.
    I tried to run terminal and use
    sudo su
    passwd Guest
    [entering password 123]
    Afterwards I can't login as Guest at all. System doesn't ask for a password, nor logs me in.
    Thx for any help

    This question was asked 2 years ago and still hasn't been answered.
    If there is not a way to add a password to guest account, what is the script that get's executed when the Guest account log's off? I can execute that on an account that I create called 'localGuest' or something like that.
    I have an enterprising member of my family who has figured out that my computer is exempt from the network curfew and they are using Guest to bypass that. I have since disabled guest; however, I do like using the fresh guest environment to test software development.

  • How can I set a password for iMessage specifically?

    Here's the objective. I want to be able to secure my iMessages with a password, but specifically WITHOUT setting a password on the iPod in general.
    The "restrictions" tab in settings DOES NOT have iMessage as an option to be restricted (which I think is silly), so please don't recommend that. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

    You can go to Settings>Messages and turn off Messages. Then go to Settings>General>Restrictions and turn on the the Restriction that prevent changing accounts.
    I just verified that it works.

  • How can i set a password on my power off button so no frinds can shut it down whith just 2 presses

    i want to set a password so when u click on the power button and then enter it wont shut down if u dont write in the password first. and the resson i want this is becasue som classmates turn it of during lessons and its anoying, i have seen one on the train on m y way to the school

    If you enable fast user switching, and then login to two accounts, the casual user will find that shutting down requires the admin password.
    However, the "non-casual" (saavy) user always has the ability to shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. There is nothing that can prevent that. It is "hard-wired" as an ultimate shutdown safety.

  • How can I set OIM password policy for OID Users.

    Hi,
    For me the target resourec is OID. When I create users in OIM, they get provisioned to OID. Their password also gets stored in OID.
    Now, I have a password policy in OIM. In that policy, the password exipration day is set to 28 days. After 28 days, the user's password will expire in OIM. Is there any way that password will also expire in OID too, so that user will not be able to login in OID?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to do the following.
    1. Find the attribute in OID that determines the disable date.
    2. Add a field to your provisioning process definition form.
    3. Using a pre-populate adapter, use an input of your oim user account expiration date, and convert that to the format OID uses.
    4. Update your lookup for provisioning attributes to include this new field to map the field name to the OID attribute.
    5. Create an "Updated" task for this field so that when it gets changed, the new value is pushed to OID.
    6. Create a user form trigger value for the field that maps to the oim user account expiration field. For this trigger, add a task to your oid provisioning process that does the same tasks as your pre-populate adapter to determine the new date value and pass it to the field on the process form.
    Now when the OIM expiration date changes, this value will be passed to OID, and also when the account is first created.
    Does this work for you?
    -Kevin

  • HT1338 How can i set password for my folder?

    How can i set a password for my folder?

    Mac OS X does not natively include a method for passwording only selected folders. You can either get a third-party utility such as Knox (from AgileBits) or you can create an encrypted disk image (using Disk Utilty) and keep the files you wish protected in that disk image.
