Jared, All,
The challenge has been accepted.
In this episode of "This Old Password" we search for the lost password with
the help of sql_trace and a new test profile. And voila, we discover the
SYS table user_history$. The moral of the story is that if the
aforementioned user is assigned a profile where Password_Reuse_Time or
Password_Reuse_Max is not Unlimited (the default), then old passwords will
be stored in user_history$.password until they are no longer required to
enforce the profile constraints. If the user is not assigned this type of
profile you are out of luck. And, of course, you would have to disable the
profile to reset the password to an already-been-used value.
You never know what you'll start with some questions ;-) Have a great
weekend.
Mike

Mike,
Good point, I obviously was out to lunch on that one.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to search out
and disseminate the knowledge regarding this old password.
Should you choose not to accept this mission, I will disavow
all knowledge of this email and claim it was spoofed by
persons unknown.
This message will not self destruct in 5 seconds, but will
probably hang around in various archives for centuries,
consuming valuable resources.
Now where'd that coffee go to...
Jared
