Oracle Database Discussions

Hello all,

I have a linux server with Oracle 11g installed which is used primarily for testing by a few developers and QA folks. I want to set the DB user password to never expire. I have run the following (which works on a windows machine) but the password still states that it will expire in 7 days. Is there something else I can do to 'force' the pw to infinity? I've tried stopping shutting down the DB, stopping / restarting listener...

ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
select * from dba_profiles where profile = 'DEFAULT' and resource_name LIKE 'PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME';
"PROFILE" "RESOURCE_NAME" "RESOURCE_TYPE" "LIMIT"
"DEFAULT" "PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME" "PASSWORD" "UNLIMITED"

select profile from dba_users where username='TEST';
"PROFILE"
"DEFAULT"

select username, account_status, to_char(expiry_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY') EXP_DATE from dba_users where username = 'TEST';
"USERNAME" "ACCOUNT_STATUS" "EXP_DATE"
"TEST" "OPEN" ""

Help appreciated.
