steps:

2. Select the DataGuard tab.
3. Press the Edit User button.
4. Select the appropriate User ID from the list using the scroll buttons and press OK.
5. Press the Password button.

Note: Require a new user to change the Password upon log in so that it will be easy to
remember and unknown to the administrator.
