Change EBS 11i password

In Oracle E-business Suite, the commands for changing APPS passwors and for changing SYSADMIN password are different. It is very important to use the right syntax when making the change.

Make sure you can log onto the database as APPS and SYSTEM by using Sql*plus on the apps server BEFORE you run below lines.

- To change APPS password
$FND_TOP/bin/FNDCPASS apps/old_apps_pwd 0 Y system/system_pwd SYSTEM APPLSYS new_apps_pwd

- To change SYSADMIN password
$FND_TOP/bin/FNDCPASS apps/current_apps_pwd 0 Y system/system_pwd USER SYSADMIN new_sysadmin_pwd

- to change schema owner password
FNDCPASS apps/current_apps_pwd 0 Y system/system_pwd ORACLE OE new_oe_pwd

UPDATE on R12:

Below statement by APPS will change SYSADMIN password:
SQL> select fnd_web_sec.change_password('sysadmin','newPwd4U') from dual;

Belo line to check if a user's password is right or not:
SQL> select fnd_web_sec.validate_login('ebs_userID', 'userPWD') from dual;
FND_WEB_SEC.VALIDATE_LOGIN('EBS_USERID','USERPWD')
