Hi

You can do the Update on the Repository’s Security Domain, if you forget the password, I dont think its possible to Read the Passwords directly, since its in decrypted…

This is for the Classical Business Objects and XI have different architecture.

Update OBJ_M_ACTOR
Set M_ACTOR_C_PASSWORD = NULL
Where M_ACTOR_C_NAME = ’ ';

Plus, might I suggest that you refrain from using text-message-like words, such as u - it’s you.

You cannot view passwords in the repository. When a user sets their password a one-way hash is created and stored in the repository, the password is then thrown away. When a user attempts to logon the password is hashed and that value is compared to the stored hash value.
