Problem with ora-28000 error

Hi all,
I got a problem with ORA-28000 in my form. In my app, it allows user to try maximum 3 time to logon, if the user fails, his/her user will be locked. The problem is, when Oracle locked that user, in on-error trigger I cannot catch that error and show the error message.
Anybody, please give me a hand.
Thank alot

I put code (in the on-error trigger) here. please have look, thanks again.
IN_ERR_CODE NUMBER := ERROR_CODE;
BEGIN
     IF(IN_ERR_CODE = 28001) THEN
     ELSIF (IN_ERR_CODE = 28002) THEN

SQL*Loader-128: unable to begin a session ORA-28000: the account is locked

Hi everyone,
I am migrating from a SQL Server 2000 DB to Oracle 10g. I followed the migration tutorial and got all the way till the data migration process. The DB data capture scripts capture the data from the SQL Server successfully but i encounter the following error while i run the oracle_ctl.bat file on the Oracle side:

ORA-28000: the account is locked
I checked the account and its unlocked and the user name/password combination is the correct one. All the log files have the same error messages. The user has all the required privileges.
Any ideas why this might be happening ?
Thanks,
Amo.

Hello,
there may be several causes for this:
1) account in grace period, it can login to sqlplus but could not logn with sqlldr
2) kind of user being specified (sys as sysdba for example)
Could you please paste first lines of modified batch file and
output from select user and status in dba_users ?
Try anyway to run the unlock command
ALTER USER username ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
Thanks
Regards,
Marcello

ORA-28000 in Java program while account is not actually locked

Hi all,
we got error ORA-28000: the account is locked in Java program which connects to Oracle.
But account is not locked, 'cause we can log in using Oracle SQL Developer.
What can be wrong?

I would bet my bottom dollar that you are not logging in to the same account in the same database when you connect via SQL Developer that the Java application is connecting to. Perhaps there is a difference in the TNS configuration the two tools are using that makes it look like they should be connecting to the same database. Perhaps the Java application is not using the username that you expect, etc.
Have you enabled auditing of both successful and failed connections to this database to see whether you see both connections and whether they are using the same account?
I suppose it is possible that you've found a bug that needs to be reported to Oracle Support where an incorrect error message is returned. But it is vastly more likely that Oracle is right and you've made a mistake.
