How to retrieve the database link password

user1356432Jul 5 2018 — edited Jul 24 2018

Hi, We are in oracle 11.2.0.4.0. We need to recreate one of our database links that connect to a remote database as the remote database planned to be migrated. We don't have the password for the user used in the creation of the mentioned database link. Understand that from 11.2.0.4 onwards we can not create the database link by using the old password. In fact the password storing mechanism has changed. Any other way to achieve this apart from resetting the password in remote database? Thanks. Regards; Gopal
