We cant make this call over the Oracle JDBC layer, because it hasnt been implemented. However our primary interface, OCI, does indeed support this. In order to use the Oracle Call Interface OCI, you need to have an Oracle Client on your machine. The good news is that this is fairly easy to get going. The Instant Client will do.

I Need Another Option, This Aint Working If you have another account in the database, you can use the DBA Panel to reset a users password, or of course you can spark up a SQLlus session and issue the ALTER USER JEFF IDENTIFIED BY command but you knew this already, yes I need more help installing the Instant Client, helpThere are lots and lots of resources out there on this subject. But I also know from personal experience that many of you have problems getting this to work.
