Oracle Account Issue

 Sometimes the database user account is getting locked if the login was tried with the wrong password. In 11g database, the user account will get locked after 10 consequent failed login attempts. Oracle 11g database's default profile makes the database account password lifetime as 3 months and the number of failed login attempts as 10 days.  Once these limits are reached, it will lock the account.

The following command can be used to change the default profile to allow an unlimited number of failed login attempt:

alter profile default limit FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS unlimited;

ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
