Sorry, you won't find one.  The encryption is one way.  If you guess the 
correct password, it will match the encrypted value, but the encrypted value 
will decrypt to many possible values.  That is how encryption works.

i thought of doing a insert into mytable values (username,password); in the  
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql<http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch53.htm#1005955>
  but i don't wanne edit or write anything more looking for a scritp that 
converts the hase to plain text

Not exactly sure what you want to do, but you might google for the undocumented 
"alter user XXX identified by values..." command.  It will let you set the 
passwords back to what they were without knowing them.

Hi Experts,

I have a question that's a bit unethical.

For a company i'm working for i need to find out what the passwords are of 
oracle users. As changing them means a lot of work for allot of poeple.

Is there anyway i can clear text the password from dba database, i have sysdba 
and all privs.

any points would be nice also i want to put this into script so if anyone has 
something ?
