Oracle Password Auditor

Oracle Password Auditor is a simple-to-use, yet powerful software application that helps you recover lost or forgotten passwords to Oracle databases. It features just a few settings that can be easily tinkered with.

Installing the tool does not take a long time. However, since it is ad-supported, Oracle Password Auditor offers to download and install third-party components that it does not actually need to work properly. By paying a bit of attention, these tools can be excluded from setup.

The GUI is user-friendly, made from a normal window with a neatly organized layout, where you can specify the Oracle database server, port number, SID and database user name, along with the password dictionary file (TXT format) to use for matching entries.

The scanning procedure starts with the click of a button. Once it finishes, the key is revealed on the bottom part of the screen, and you can also check out the total elapsed time. Although Oracle Password Auditor does not offer support for exporting the key to a file, printing it or copying it to the Clipboard, the latter can be done by selecting the password and using the global Copy keyboard shortcut or right-click menu entry.

There were no kinds of issues in our tests, since Oracle Password Auditor did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time and quickly discovers the key, without hanging, crashing or popping up error messages in the meantime. Oracle Password Auditor provides a simple and effective method to getting back lost or forgotten keys to Oracle databases, and it can be easily used by anyone.
