 Password Reset or change the password once user's password expired in Oracle apps R12 or Oracle EBS(E-Business Suite) or Oracle application

Before going to reset the password, we need to understand why it's needed,

Use case 1:

There might be a scenario, where the User has been traveling, or due to any reason has not been able to log into Oracle. For such scenarios, when the User tries to login to Oracle, and is not be able to Log. In this case we need to Reset User Password.

Use case 2:

In the scenario, where the User has by mistake, or by confusion has entered incorrect password for three or more times, the password gets locked. In such scenario Password reset is the solution.

Use case 3:

In a scenario where the User is end dated. For instance, the User may not be required Oracle access and had been end dated. Now if the User requires Oracle access, we would require removing the end-date. This will follow a Password Reset.

Use case 4:

If we are assigning responsibilities to a User, who did not had any access to any responsibilities earlier, then Password Reset needs to be done for the User after assigning the Responsibilities.

Now Steps are the following to reset the password in Oracle:

Step 1: Navigate to System Administrator->Security->User->Define as shown below

Step 2: Query the name of the User whose password needs to be reset
