I created a new user thru oracle 9i with password xyz. Then i preserved the password using the query

select 'alter user '||''||username||''||' identified by values '||''''||password||''''||';'from dba_users where username='USRNAME';

then i droped the user and recreated using oracle 9i. And run the query
alter user USRNAME identified by values '716565asdf'; to use the same old password xyz.

Now my problem is when i try logging in thru oracle 9i console i have to use the old password(ie the password which i gave when i recreated the account) and thru sql prompt i can connect to the database using the preserved password, xyz. Why does this happen?What is the solution ?

Please help . I am new to oracle.

Post what you did (session), instead of explaining what you did.
I cannot reproduce your case.
Post exact Oracle versions you are using. Your post title says it as 10.2, but post body states it as 9i.
Bounce your EM console and try again.

Let me mention my enviornment

MY OS : Centos 5.10
DATABASE : ORACLE 10.2.0.1.0

I check my instance

SQL> select * from v$instance;

it gives me as TEST(TEST is my database instance)

I login to oracle em 10g database control(DATABASE instance is TEST) using the userid and password i created. After dropping and recreating the same I run the query
alter user XYZ identified by values 'ADFSDDDA6A886D960E'; (this is the old password)

Now the same problem occured ie i am unable to login in em 10g using the old password(i can login using the new password) but i can login in sql prompt using the old password

This time i avoided ORACLE 9i console.

Does any one have any idea what is wrong?
