Logging in

You can log in to your account from the following link: Oracle Enterprise Manager

Changing Your Password

Once you have logged in with your username and given password, change your password. Here are some restrictions on your Oracle passwords:

• Passwords can be from 1 to 30 characters.
• The first character in the password must be a letter.
• Only letters, numbers, and the characters #, $, and _ (underscore) are acceptable in passwords.

On the inital page of the Oracle Enterprise Manage select the Server tab on the top. On the next page, under the section Security, select Users.

Find your username among the list of users and select it. Then click on Edit. Enter your new password and confirm it. If you are unable to change your password through the Oracle Enterprise Manager, try the instructions below to change your password through SQL Developer.

Connecting to Oracle using SQL Developer

Install the SQL Developer on your machine. Go through the tutorial on SQL Developer. Here are some options for you to connect to your Oracle database:

Connection Name: db_<loginName>

Hostname: rising-sun.microlab.cs.utexas.edu

Port: 1521

SID: orcl

Changing Your Password in SQL Developer

In the top right window of SQL Developer type the following command:

Alter User <login_name> identified by <new_password>;

Then click the Execute Statement icon / button on the top. You can hover your mouse over the buttons and locate it. In the SQL Developer on my Macintosh it is the first button. You should see the outcome in the Results window directly below or on the bottom bar that the command was executed.
