Unlocking hr account

I'm having trouble unlocking the hr account to follow along with the 2-day developer's guide. I'm using 10gXE if that matters.
I log into SQL*Plus as "system" successfully from command prompt so that I have admin privileges (I set up 2 users as system from the database homepage environment) and enter the command as it appears in the guide:
alter user hr account unlock identified by [my_password]
But then when I press enter, the screen for some reason shows a "2" on the line below my command, and then a blinking cursor right after that. I tried just waiting for a few minutes, but still nothing happens.
When I finally press "enter" again, I get the SQL> prompt, but when I exit and try to log back in as hr, I get:
ERROR:
ORA-28000: the account is locked
So, obviously my unlock attempt isn't going through... :(

I actually just solved this before seeing your solution, which presumably will also work. What I did was log into the home page as system, then unlock user hr from the GUI, which allows you actually to see what's going on.
I don't see why the guide doesn't point you in that direction in the first place, as it's just way easier. I guess they want you to be aware of the command prompt option in a pinch, but I really feel like that is "more advanced" than either SQL developer, which I'm guessing is going to become my default interface, or the homepage, which also seems to offer everything you need (SQL developer seems to me at first glance to offer a bit quicker navigation and easier use of SQL statements).
Thanks very much for your help! Sorry I didn't get to try it out (btw, I also actually did choose a real password, didn't know that that defaulted to hr, too -- ?).SQL statements at the SQL*Plus command prompt have to be terminated with a semi-colon. If you don't, it just prompts you for another line, which in your case was line number 2.

    Hello All,
    I have a phsical x86 server running Solaris 11. On top of that, I have 3 Solaris 10 branded zones configured. Due to security policy the root account has been locked by 5 failed login attempts.
    Is there a way by which I can unlock root account in non-global zone.
    I have the root access of global zone.
    Pls help as these are production servers.

  • Unlock user account on PIX v7.0

    How do you unlock a PIX local database user account in PIX v7? You can set the account to lock after a set number of failed password attempts, but I can’t seem to unlock the account. From the CLI, you can display the number of failed attempts and when the account was locked. There doesn’t seem to be a command to unlock the account; the only fix I have is to delete the account then recreate it

  • How to unlock user account in Windows Server 2003

    Hi,
    I want to unlock a user account in Windows Server 2003.
    I have read a great post at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=716240&start=0&tstart=0
    But I can not get it to work. According to the post the only thing you need to do is:
    "+to unlock an account, just set the value of the attribute lockoutTime to zero+".
    When I set lockoutTime to zero nothing happens. The user can still not logon.
    When I read the lockoutTime attribute for an account that is locked it is empty or zero if I have tried to unlock it earlier.
    So it doesn´t seem to change when the account is locked.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Windows Server 2012 has come with the concept of Group Managed Service Account (gMSA).  
    Following are the benefits of gMSA,
    - A single gMSA can be used on multiple hosts.
    - A gMSA can be used for scheduled tasks.
    - A gMSA can be used for IIS Application Pools, SQL 2012 etc.
    Checkout the below link regarding complete information on gMSA (creation and usage),

  • Unlocking locked account

    i have forgotten my itunes security questions, as a result I have got them wrong a few times and it has locked my account.  How can I unlock the account and reset the questions with having to phone them.

    You might be able to re-enable your account via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    If you have an iPhone, iPad and/or an iPod Touch you might then need to log out of your account on it by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    You can only reset your security questions without talking to Apple on the phone if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account - if you then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get them reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • 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,

  • Why do I have to keep unlocking my account on iTunes?

    What is causing iTunes to keep blocking my account where I have to "unlock" or "reset" it for security reasons?  I am the only person who uses my phone, computer, and iTunes account.  I really don't understand why I have had to do this 3 x's now in the past couple months. 
    Never used to happen before, and nothing has changed at all.
