Changing the login password

You need to change your password if it expires or if you exceed the maximum number of login attempts. Oracle recommends changing your password periodically.

Note:

Passwords expire every 90 days, and passwords need to be reset after 3 failed login attempts.

1. In the upper right, from your user name drop-down list, select Change Password.
2. Fill in the fields, and click Submit.

   To discard the changes, click Return.

When choosing a password, we recommend that you do not use special or language specific characters (for example, question marks or German Umlauts).

If the password you enter is not valid, an error message appears describing the password requirements. Passwords should:

• Contain at least 8 characters.
• Not have been used in the previous 5 passwords.
• Contain at least one uppercase and one lower case alphabetic character.
• Contain at least one numeric character.
